Mr. Anyim Pius Anyim, a former Senate president and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, has described the death of the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Late Mallam Abba Kyari, as a loss to the Federal Government.
In a condolence letter to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Buhari, Anyim said Abba Kyari’s death was not just a loss to the President and the immediate family of the deceased, but also to the Federal Government, Borno State and the friends and associates of the former Chief of Staff.
This, according to Anyim, is because “Mallam Abba Kyari was a hard-working, loyal and dependable Chief of Staff who discharged his duties with uncommon commitment and diligence.”
