I hope those already stealing Corona Vurus money will stop & begin to do the right thing. Abba Kyari died here in Nigeria, unable to travel for medical tourism. FIX OUR HEALTH SECTOR & country now.
Stop looting Nigeria dry.

Abba Kyari was Buhari’s right hand man. Buhari will feel this in his soul. Thoughts and prayers are with him.

Abba kyari died a mu’meen
He died a martyr (shaheedi) death from a pandemic.
He also died on a Friday, I think we all know the bonus that comes with these. What a beautiful way to die. May Allah accept his shahada, forgive his shortcomings and grant him jannatul Firdaus.— Engr Yasir Arafat Jubril🏗🏢🌉🛤🛣 (@oil_shaeikh) April 18, 2020

Many Nigerians celebrated the death of Abacha.
Nigerians mourned the death of Musa Yar'Adua.
Let Nigerians react to the death of Abba Kyari they way they feel like.
No need to guilt trip anybody, what he did for Nigerians when he was alive will speak for him.
May his soul RIP

Appalling to see some Nigerians rollick to Abba Kyari's death. This demonstrates how depleted our sense of humanness has become.
In this struggle against such a formidable enemy as COVID-19, late Kyari won't be the last casualty.
How does an obituary benefits you? You shameless. pic.twitter.com/OKlCGnIcC0— FunmiAjala (@ajalatravel07) April 18, 2020
Abba kyari is dead.
Neither you nor your father or any of your family member is going to be his replacement
It’s also not going to magically lift you out of poverty or heal the bitterness in your heart
Why then are you celebrating??

The death of @Abba Kyari is quite pathetic.
I am not trying to politicise his death but it should be a wake up call to our political to develop our health sector. pic.twitter.com/ddlGXGqddA— Ehi (@Ehi60181939) April 18, 2020
