Former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has mourned the Chief of Staff of the President, Abba Kyari, saying he was his friend for 40 years.

In a tweet on Saturday, Mr Fani-Kayode also revealed that the late Kyari worked alongside him at the former minister’s father’s law firm.

“I have lost a friend of 40 years. We were at Cambridge together. We worked in my father’s law firm together. We remained close throughout right up until the end even though we disagreed politically.

“Abba was a good man: a man of honor & a loyal friend. May his soul rest in peace,” he wrote.

The Presidency announced Kyari’s death early Saturday.

The chief of staff died three weeks after being diagnosed with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
