Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, has condemned reports circulating in the social media that President Muhammadu Buhari’s chief of staff, Abba Kyari has died.
Kyari, who last week Monday tested positive for the deadly coronavirus after returning from a trip in Germany, has remained under self-isolation in an undisclosed place.
However, there were reports on Thursday, April 2, 2020, claiming that Kyari has died, a report which has been denied by Fani-Kayode via his official twitter handle.
The rumor was started Thursday, April 2, 2020, via a tweet by Kemi Olunloyo, a former blogger and controversial social media influencer, who now claimed to be an investigative journalist.
She claimed ‘a high ranking member of President Buhari’s Cabinet has DIED from coronavirus complications’.
Fani-Kayode says in as much as he might not support the administration of President Buhari, wishing death on his political opponent is far from his character.
“It is not true that Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to @MBuhari, is dead. Those that are behind that rumor are vicious and heartless. I remain opposed to the @MBuhari admin. but to wish or proclaim someone dead simply because you disagree with him politically is unacceptable,” he said.

Femi Fani-Kayode: A Lady Called Corona and the Future Of Nigeria [MUST READ]
[dropcap]I[/dropcap]n view of the Covid-19 scourge this is the time for us to look within, to pray to our God, to gather our strength and to preach love, unity and peace.
However, that does not mean that we should act as if all was well before the arrival of the demon called Covid to our shores. It does not mean that we should close our eyes to the bitter truths of our pitiful condition and statehood and our insufferable and seemingly insurmountable predicaments or take them off the ball.
It does not mean that we should forget about our quest to break the heavy chains that have held us bound and turn our backs on the quest to liberate our people. The coronavirus has come and in God’s name and time it will go. It’s ugly and unwelcome presence does not mean that we should close our eyes to the monumental problems of our country and lose sight of the seemingly insurmountable challenges that we as a people are facing.
This is all the more so when we are saddled with a Federal Government and a President who have proved to be more incompetent, clueless and ineffectual than ANY other in our entire history and who appear to have an unnatural love for cows and an incredulous affinity with Islamist terrorists.
Due to the countless calls and numerous enquiries that I have received over the last few days, I am constrained to state clearly and unequivocally where I stand and what I consider to be the way forward for Nigeria. For the record those views are as follows.
Nigeria as a nation is no longer viable or tenable. It would take a miracle to keep us together as one for anything more than the next five years. Whether we like it or not, break-up is the future and unity is the past. That is what I sense and that is what I see. And the truth is that that may well be the best thing for us all.
Too many innocent souls have been slaughtered over the last 106 years in the name of keeping Nigeria one and too many are being killed and persecuted today for the same nebulous and moribund cause.
Outside of that, can there be any understanding between one that believes that he alone has the power over the future and destiny and over life and death and that boastfully proclaims that he was “born to rule” and another that he considers to be nothing more than a “worthless slave”?
Can there be any love between a cruel, barbaric, retrograde, barren, callous and unrepentant “master” and a resourceful, refined, productive, generous, kind and civilised “servant” who refuses to bow to him or kiss his feet?
Can there be any fellowship between light and darkness? Can there be friendship between the children of God and the sons of Belial? Can anything wholesome and good come out of being unequally yoked?
Can you put a lion and a hyena in the same cage and expect a benign result? Can a tiger and a vulture live together in peace?
Can the bold and noble eagle and a cold-blooded and murderous snake walk as one? Can a vicious and heartless scorpion sleep in the same pen as a harmless and loving lamb? Can a ravenous and hungry wolf live in peace with Little Red Riding Hood?
The answer to all these profound, fundamental, germane, philosophical and soul-searching questions is a resounding NO!
The ethnic nationalities and zones of our country must and will exercise their inalienable and lawful right of self-determination in due course. For us this is a response to what we consider to be an existential threat and a matter of survival.
That is the future that the overwhelming majority of Nigerians in the younger generation hope and pray for and it is only a matter of time before it comes to pass.
The Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda of Usman Dan Fodio, Ahmadu Bello, Muhammadu Buhari and their collaborators and allies which has been rigorously, clinically, surreptitiously and ruthlessly implemented over the last 220 years cannot and shall not succeed. It has failed woefully and it has finally come to an abrupt end.
