The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has commiserated with President Muhammadu Buhari over the death of his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Abba Kyari.
The forum in a condolence letter addressed to Buhari and signed by its Chairman and Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, in Abuja said that the NGF received with shock the news of the death of Kyari.
The statement reads:
“On behalf of all the 36 State Governors under the platform of the NGF, I write to offer our deepest condolences.
“With wisdom and foresight, he forged strong ties between the President and the ministers, and strengthened the bond between our forum and your administration.
“He did not allow public perception to affect his loyalty to you and remained a pillar of your administration to his last breadth.
“As we condole our President and country in this trying moment, the NGF avails this opportunity to renew to you the assurance of our highest consideration.”
