Buhari with Abba Kyari (image courtesy State House)
Former aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode has rubbished insinuations that President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, died Thursday.
Concise News observed unsubstantiated reports on social media claiming that Kyari, who is being treated for coronavirus, had passed.
The speculation started after a self-acclaimed investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo tweeted that “a high-ranking member of President Buhari’s Cabinet has DIED from coronavirus complications.”

But Fani-Kayode, a staunch critic of president Buhari, described those peddling the rumour as vicious and heartless.
“It is not true that Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to Muhammadu Buhari is dead. Those that are behind that rumour are vicious and heartless,” he tweeted.
It is not true that Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to @MBuhari, is dead. Those that are behind that rumour are vicious and heartless. I remain opposed to the @MBuhari admin. but to wish or proclaim someone dead simply because you disagree with him politically is unacceptable.
