Abba Kyari
The Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr Abba Kyari, who died on Friday, April the 17th, has now been buried.
His remains were brought in an ambulance to the Defence House in Abuja, where family members, as well as his colleagues, gathered to pay their last respect.
He was laid to rest at the Gudu Cemetery in Abuja.
Mr. Abatan, I love your write-up on Abba Kyari: End of power behind the throne. It captures the enormous power Abba Kyari wielded as the Chief of staff to President Buhari. He could be said to be the one ruling the country on behalf of the President. For the President to have given only Abba Kyari the “key” to access the office of the President spoke volume. Unfortunately, he used that power unapologetically. He brazenly flaunted the power even to the point of undermining the office of the Vice President. But for the maturity of the Vice President, who averted the collision course between the President and the Vice President which was masterminded by the late COS, the nation would have witnessed a move to impeach the VP.
It is often said that whatsoever a man does, posterity has a way of getting back at you either in your lifetime or after you might have departed to the great beyond.
This is a lesson to us all.
