United States, alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari’s
Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, is dead.
The Presidency had said that Abba Kyari, who tested positive
for Coronavirus in March, was receiving treatment in Lagos, but different
sources alleged that he was transferred abroad for medical treatment.
Disclosing the news of his death on Thursday, Dr. Olunloye
wrote;
“BREAKING🇳🇬
A HIGH RANKING member of President Buhari’s Cabinet has DIED ⚰️of #CoronaVirus #Covid9🆘☠️😷 complications. I will give the feds the honor of
announcing it. U cannot hide it like Yar’Adua. I’m not telling because I value
NATIONAL SECURITY OF NIGERIA #drkemiolunloyo”
Meanwhile, while responding to a question on the whereabouts
of the president’s chief of staff, Abba Kyari, at the daily press briefing, the
Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, had said Kyari’s location was not
important, adding that the president’s chief of staff like any other Nigerian
has a right to privacy.
Ehanire said: “I want to repeat that every person, including
each of you here, has a right to privacy. Each of you has the right to tell
anyone whether you have been screened or whether you have tested negative or
positive and that right is also granted to those who are in public office or
VIPs.
“Some VIPs have chosen to disclose by themselves; some have
authorised that their own result can be announced and I announced mine; the SGF
gave me the permission to announce his; the vice-president also gave us
permission.
“For those who didn’t give us the permission, we don’t
announce their results and we don’t tell you who is positive or negative and we
don’t go into the fact of whether they are in treatment or not because it is
not part of what the public needs to know.
“But let me tell you that all those who were screened and
found positive, whether VIP or common man, are all in good care and in custody
and are being properly taken care of.”
