COVID 19: Kyari Plots Aso Rock Return, Says I’m Well

By Fola James

Abba Kyari, chief of staff to President Muhammadu Buhari had remained incommunicado since testing positive to the deadly corona virus early last week.

But those that think Kyari would be kept away from the presidential villa, should quickly perish the thought.

The powerful presidential aide has now broken his silence, though from an undiclosed location, that he’s recovering fast and preparing to return to Aso Rock to continue his work.

There  were innitial suggestions that he may have been flown out of the country to receive treatment.

Others have claimed claimed he was been treated in Lagos.

But for the first time Kyari has publicly disclosed his status as corona virus positive.

He was believed to have contracted the virus during his recent trip to Eurpope.

In a letter he wrote the public, Kyari said he tested positive last week and was proceeding to Lagos on Sunday for further tests based on medical advice.

He said he’s not showing serious symptoms contrary to suggestions in some quarters.

Kyari said he would soon resume work.

He wrote in the letter thus“I am writing to let you know that on medical advice, I will transfer to Lagos later today for additional tests and observation. This is a precautionary measure: I feel well, but last week, I tested positive for coronavirus, the pandemic that is sweeping the world. I have followed all the protocols the government has announced to self-isolate and quarantine.”

He said he took care of his medical bill.

“I have made my own care arrangements to avoid further burdening the public health system, which faces so many pressures. Like many others that will test also positive, I have not experienced high fever or other symptoms associated with this new virus and have been working from home. I hope to be back at my desk very soon,.” Kyari said.
