‘Man of potential, died working for Nigeria’

Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, has described the late Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, as a man of much potential whose exit will be sorely missed by many.

Governor Akeredolu, in a statement he personally signed in Akure yesterday, expressed shock even as he prayed God for the repose of the soul of the departed public servant.

According to him, ”The frailty of life carries with it the deeper deception of an innocuous state, creating paths peculiar to individuals in life. Along such paths are attractions out of which we make our choices. “For Mallam Abba Kyari, a quintessential public servant whose trajectory of life molded him for inexorable service to his fatherland, his choice of life was that of a pool of unhyped potentials.

“For him, he had played his own part of the endless life orchestra; he has departed, in fulfillment of mankind’s inescapable debt, like other mortals,” the statement read partly.
