Farooq Kperogi April 18, 2020 - Abba Kyari's Death, End of a Surrogate Presidency, and the Coming Chaos


To say I was shocked by Abba Kyari's death would be to tell a lie. Being an asthmatic patient who routinely had "breathing problems" that necessitated periodic trips to London hospitals—in addition to being a diabetic who was older than 65—it would have been nothing short of miraculous if he survived COVID-19.

In spite of who he was, especially the last five years of his life on earth, as a Muslim, I won't speak ill of him in death. But I won't write undeserving and deodorizing posthumous extolments of him, either. That would be as bad as, or even worse than, celebrating his death.

With Kyari's death, Nigeria is now truly leaderless. Buhari is practically in the land of the living dead. He's a breathing mannequin whose only reason for living is to prove he isn't dead in order to justify the continuity of the rule in his name.

Abba Kyari ruled the country on Buhari's behalf. In my viral February 22, 2020 column titled, "The Tragedy of the Abba Kyari Surrogate Presidency," this line appeared: "Sometime in the midpoint of last year, a northern retired general told me Abba Kyari said in private that people who vilify him don’t realize that without him Nigeria would be rudderless and descend into chaos."

Now, he is gone, and the chaos he talked about would start in the coming days and weeks. Mamman Daura, Buhari's nephew who introduced Kyari to Buhari, isn't only old (he is now in his early 80's) he is also now isolated from Buhari thanks to Kyari.

Babagana Kingibe who has been acting on Kyari's behalf and who will probably formally replace him, doesn't quite know Buhari in the same way that Abba Kyari did.

There is a yawning, potentially disorienting power vacuum in the presidential villa now, which actually emerged really visibly since Kyari went out of circulation before his eventual death.

Watch out for Aisha Buhari to assert herself more aggressively and to work to grab power in the fashion that Turai Yar'adua did. In fact, she already started this the moment Kyari took ill.

One of the first things Aisha did was to cause Jalal Arabi, Permanent Secretary of the State House and Kyari's dutiful protege, to be redeployed from the Villa.

The remnants of the cabal will, of course, fight back. But the fight between Aisha and members of the cabal who are merely Kyari's proteges, would be a fight in the dark because Buhari who is supposed to intervene is an insentient being who's barely aware he's alive.

The in-fighting will create noticeable cracks in the Buhari group that Osinbajo, Tinubu, and other interest groups would exploit to feather their nests and advance their interests. In other words, in the coming days and months, expect the cessation of any pretense to governance and an unprecedentedly factious, dog-eat-dog, recriminatory fight between competing power blocs.

Body brought out from coffin. Where are the protocols.

lawless country,pls ramp the man like weed for mat and trowey am like commona jare

Swizbank:

The undertakers that handled his dead body should be isolated asap, they are all potential covid19 career.

because Dem no cremate am abi

Karemarealty288:
He died in the health system they neglected..
Prince Charles has recovered
Gordon Brown has recovered
Canadian first lady has recovered
German Chancellor has since recovered .
They all recovered because of effective and working health system.
But the Case of De Facto President is not same because the monster they created has come to eat them up. No where to run to.

Did Pep Guardiola's mother die in Nigeria?

inoki247:
But Mr Lai said dem no go release any Corona dead body to dere family buh I guess Mallam Kyari body is different nd special

I didn't realize the sarcasm in this picture until I read the last sentence.

fergie006:
This was disclosed by the official spokesperson to the President,

ORIENTATION101:
was an covid19 casualty cremated in Nigeria

they may have been cremated since the presidency did not released them to their families or fly them all over Nigeria

kaylardz:
Everybody that will be attending the burial rite including the children of the deceased, imam and govt officials must immediately be isolated, quarantined and tested after the burial. The grave as well must be dug deeper than usual while the entire vicinity of the grave be vacated for at least 3 months.
Prevention they say is better than cure,

May God heal the land.

Lol............Just watched the burial of Abba Kyari (on AIT) in a very shallow grave at GuDu Cemetery,Abuja

May his soul rest in peace.

I just can't comment without saying this.

If the government was run the way it should. What would make a chief of staff to go meeting with a foreign firm abroad. This trip should have been done by the minister of power or the president himself worst case the V.P.

[quote author=inoki247 post=88572529]But Mr Lai said dem no go release any Corona dead body to dere family buh I guess Mallam Kyari body is different nd special [/quote

Nigeria is animal farm, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others

Ishilove:
"the remaining of Abba Kyari..."

I thought nobody noticed that.

Fashola is not the minister of power.

Glink2018:
Babatunde Fashola supposed to be thankful to God. Because he was meant to go for the conference that Abba Kyari went for abroad that resorted to COVID 19 sickness.....

They should burn that wicked soul to avoid spraying the Covid 19 to innocent citizens.

tete7000:


This is not Ebola, I don't think so. However the people gathered at the funeral can. I guess that is why the gathering is discouraged.

Ok. Thanks.

I can bet that there will be a significant increase in the number of COVID 19 cases in Nigeria after this burial

inedujac:
Can the dead spread the virus also?

As long as there's contact with his/her remains including clothing etc Infact,if due protocol are to be observed, those present at the burial site aught to isolate for the required length of time especially those mumus without mask or other form of protection. COVID 19 is badass o!

Who is that guy so closed to the vehicle without mask.

He should not be carried around for any ceremonious gathering to commence. Pls bury the dead.

Omok91:
The same govt that said if you die through COVID-19 virus, your corpse cannot be claimed by family members are the ones announcing that Abba Kyari will be buried according to Islamic rites later today.

Naija, who do us??

I just pray we will not see a gathering of more than 20 people at the burial today sha, that will evidently be a break of lock down and social distancing law.

There are serious breakdown of social distance. Even some are not wearing any mask.... including the men who digged the grave and also helped to lay down the corpse inside the shallow grave.......

I just hope Abuja will not over take Lagos with records of more Covid-19 patients.

Who remembers the top man in government he most recently had issues with? I didn't call name o. I can only guess his thoughts right now. Karma na bitch. Nigeria will be better las las

netmillionaires:
Fashola is not the minister of power.

Thank you.
