Full details of the condolences reads:
Dear Mrs. Kulu Abba Kyari,
It is with great shock that I received the sad news, in the early hours of this morning, of the passing of your husband, my brother & friend Alhaji Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to the President,
Though I knew about his battle with Covid-19 which he contracted while in active service, I had expected him to pull through because he was remarkably strong-willed, and the entire nation was praying for him. But on Friday 17th April, he went the way of all mortals.
Those of us that knew your husband from his days in Lagos can testify to his humane nature. He was very unassuming, loyal and dependable to a fault and he remained God-fearing till the end. This aspect of him has been on public display; no Chief of Staff anywhere has shown as much loyalty and commitment as he showed to President Mohammadu Buhari. History will be kind to him for giving his best in directing the affairs of the nation for almost five years.
Those who saw him from a distance may not know it, he never believed in the acquisition of material things of this world. He was incorruptible and lived his life in the mould of the typical Mallam.
Please find succour in the fact that Alhaji Abba Kyari lived a life of service to others and rose to an enviable position in the country.
On behalf of the children, accept my condolences. As a devout Moslem, I know you will take solace in the fact that from Allah we all came and to Him we shall all return. Death is a price we all owe; Alhaji Abba Kyari has just paid his own. May Allah grant him eternal rest.
Chief James Onanefe Ibori.
Governor Delta State 1999-2007
