Abba kyari Biography

We pray history, Aso Rock Clinic judge him right.

How art the mighty fallen, tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Askelon...

Someone who had all these credentials could not advise Buhari on how to build a better Nigeria, instead he became corrupt and outshone the president in handling affairs in Nigeria.

May he Rest In Peace

11.) Abba kyari, was the unceremonial head of state.

Ok


Farewell Mr Kyari

Please chair the government from the other side, we can't miss you entirely

Front page today is for Abba Kyari.

With all his sound education he cannot advice Buhari correctly.
Definitely corruption live in us like peak.

the only thing i would say is this; let buhari treat all nigerians equally. Aba kyari blocked him from the ills of nepotism he festered on the country and arrogated himself so much power that osibanjo was sidelined. let him know only God gives life. tinubu would be a happy man now.
