A former senator representing Kaduna central, Shehu Sani, has described Abba Kyari, deceased chief of staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, as a trusted and loyal friend of his principal who ‘took his master’s bullet with silence.’
The presidency, on Friday, announced the death of Kyari who died of complications from coronavirus.
The deceased chief of staff was on self-isolation after testing positive for coronavirus late March and was subsequently moved to Lagos for treatment.

Sani, in a tweet on Saturday, said Kyari took bullets for his master with smiles and silence, yet no one knew his side of the story.
“Abba Kyari; The President has lost a trusted & loyal friend. A man who took the bullets of his master with smiles, calmness & silence,” he said.
“We knew his cap & his colors but never his mind or his own side of his story. He will be missed as a Punchman or a punch.”
Kyari has been buried in Abuja on Saturday according to Islamic rites.
