In 2017, President Buhari spent more than 3 months in London treating undisclosed ailment while medical facilities in Nigeria were deteriorating.
Since COVID-19 started showing its overzealousness in reaching every country in the world, foreign travels have been grounded. The Nigerian political elite that travels at any slight discomfort on their bodies become trapped with the health system they’ve neglected over the years.
Mr. Boss Mustapha, the Secretary of the Government of the Federation who chairs the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 said, “I can tell you for sure, I never knew that our entire healthcare infrastructure was in the state in which it is until I was appointed to do this work”.

As far as Nigerians are concerned, Abba Kyari was among the people mismanaging the affairs of the country, therefore his death was well deserved. He was the most powerful Chief of Staff so far in the history of Nigeria.
He accused the Chief of Staff of giving directives to the Service Chiefs without the approval and knowledge of the President.
In an exclusive report, Premium Times revealed how the late Chief of Staff instigated President Buhari to sack the Vice-President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, from his role as the head of a committee that was raised to resolve the perennial violence between farmers and herdsmen.
The changes were allegedly spearheaded by the cabal accused of running Buhari’s administration. Mr. Kyari was the face of this cabal.
With all these myriads of accusations and allegations, how will history judge Mallam Abba Kyari? Good, bad, or ugly? Simon Kolawole, the publisher of Cable News called him a “a simple man, deeply intellectual and not one to run away from enforcing the rules”.
He also said M.r Kyari was very passionate about infrastructure and industrialization. But he always kept quiet on damaging media reports against him.
Waziri Adio, the Executive Secretary, Nigerian Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), called him a good man, a workhorse who approached his brief with near missionary and clear patriotic zeal.
As the number one aide and envoy of President Buhari, he constantly preoccupied himself with how to make Nigeria work for all, especially for the disadvantaged and the downtrodden”.
The Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama, called him a Pan-Nigerian, global citizen, who recognized no boundaries between peoples, be they racial, ethnic, religious, class or political.
