The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has described the late Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to the President, as a patriot who sacrificed his life in the course of service to his motherland.
The Christian body made the remark in a letter of condolence sent to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Kyari died on Friday as a result of complication from coronavirus and was buried on Saturday.
The letter of condolence is dated April 18, 2020, and personally signed by the president of the association, Dr Samson Olasupo A. Ayokunle.
The association expressed sadness over the death of Kyari and commiserated with the president.
“We are particularly sad that he contracted the virus while on duty abroad. He has thus sacrificed his life in the course of service to his motherland. That spoke much of his patriotic devotion to greatness of our nation,” CAN said.
CAN which also describes the death of the “patriot” as a ‘big blow’ to the Buhari administration prayed for the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss by all the bereaved.
It also promised to “continue to pray for you for enhanced wisdom and patience to lead a great country like this.”
