The death of Abba Kyari, chief of staff to Nigeria's president, deprives the ruling administration of its rudder

rare display of emotion by Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s phlegmatic president. In a written tribute to Abba Kyari, his chief of staff, who died in Lagos on April 17th after catching covid-19, Mr Buhari told of how his “dearest friend” of more than 40 years tried to improve governance and reduce corruption in Africa’s most populous country. He was “the very best of us”, wrote the president.

There was some truth to these accusations. Yet there is also a broader parable of Mr Kyari. It is one of a largely honourable man who went to the heart of a thoroughly corrupt and dysfunctional system, aiming to reform it—but who struggled to overcome its inertia amid a series of crises. The corruption and decay of Nigeria’s state, and the inequality they bred, dismayed and worried him. Nigeria had to change, he argued. The question was whether it would be through orderly reform or chaotic breakdown.

Abba nke ndi nso ..... mere ha ebere

How much did Nigeria govt pay u ppl? It seems you ppl are mad ? Do you know abba kyari more than Nigerians?

Where do you get your facts from?

Abba Kyari was Nigeria's President, while Buhari served as his CoS.

What nonsense is this?

rilgood A whole modern day hero. History will be kind to him 🙏🏿

He tried to do a lot than that . Kyari tried to uplift every Nigerian from poverty through massive job employment. He TRIED to increase budget for education. He TRIED to marry my mother until covid19 happened. He PROMISED to get me a job slot in Aso Villa. NONSENSE

'Abba Kyari, who tried to clean up Nigeria...' What an epitaph! Man can't wish for a better memorial.

I am really worried of what is going to happen in Africa and India with Covid...

Clean up?how?

Only rudder kẹ? Including the ulnar.

Get your facts straight Abba Kyari, President Buhari’s Chief of Staff was a monster, murderer & hugely corrupt politician He denied the FGN Ministry of Health the resources to prepare for COVID19 which eventually took his life HE WAS A MONSTER

The word ‘rudder’ is perhaps not apt . Stumbling block or anchor might add more depth to his personage.

Cleaning up Nigeria is really impossible bcs of its nation creation by colonial Britain empire with lands of different religion languages topography etc too big and large with One populations in Africa so corrupted society A country too big to manage and clean up its corruption

Irrespective of his role and propriety, his loss will certainly add to political instability, especially in ongoing COVID19 fallout
