“He was an extremely able, loyal and talented man, who dedicated his considerable skills to the success of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari,”
“Whatever someone will try to say about Malam Kyari, the words will prove insufficient.
“His influence in government and throughout the land was substantial and profound. He will surely be missed.
“My deepest condolences go to President Buhari, the people of Nigeria and especially, the family of Mallam Kyari over this tragic loss.“May Almighty Allah comfort the president and the Kyari’s family at this difficult moment.”
“While we must maintain spatial distance from one another, we must yet come closer in the spirit of brotherly compassion and national purpose in order to defeat the threat we now face.
“Allah’s will is supreme and there is no questioning it. Yet, we must learn from Malam Kyari’s passing.
“We must honour the departed by doing all we can to defeat the virus so that we safeguard the health of the nation that Malam Kyari loved so deeply
“The death came at a time the government is working assiduously to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic.
“We must not allow the passing away of Malam Kyari and other Nigerians, who have lost their lives to this terrible disease to be in vain.”
