It is not true that Abba Kyari is dead - Femi Fani-Kayode

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, FFK, has said that it is not true that Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to the president, is dead.

Rumours of Kyari's death was spread yesterday after controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, stated that a high ranking member of the Buhari cabinet is dead.

The tweet which she shared had coronavirus hashtags which made many point at Kyari, who tested positive for coronavirus, as the person spoken of.

This has now been debunked by Femi Fani-Kayode who slammed those behind the rumour.

He tweeted: "It is not true that Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to Buhari, is dead. Those that are behind that rumour are vicious and heartless. I remain opposed to the Buhari administration, but to wish or proclaim someone dead simply because you disagree with him politically is unacceptable".

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.
