ABUJA, Nigeria – The Presidency may have concluded plans to fly Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari who has tested positive to the COVID-19 pandemic to Lagos believed to have the best medical care for the pandemic for now.
While arrangement is being made for the Chief of Staff, we gathered that the Intensive Care Unit of the Presidential Villa has been activated as President Buhari who is believed to have had contact with Abba Kyari goes into self-isolation, even as one of the ventilaros at the Specialist Hospital in Gwagwalada is alleged to have found its way into Aso Rock.
President Buhari has rarely been seen in the public since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and calls for him to address the nation the way presidents of other nations have done have fallen on deaf ears.
