The Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr. Abba Kyari, is sick, our correspondent has learnt. Kyari has not been sighted lately at the Presidential Villa. Multiple Presidency sources who spoke with our correspondent on Friday evening said Kyari had been flown abroad for treatment.
Although none of them could confirm the nature of his sickness or the hospital where he is receiving medical attention, the government officials said Kyari had been battling the ailment for sometime.
They said the illness was responsible for his long absence in the Presidenti al Villa recently, which some media reports attributed to suspension by the President.
