I have been going through email and WhatsApp exchanges with Mallam Abba Kyari. I will share a few that answer some of the concerns raised here and that further illuminate his attitude to clearly orchestrated demonisation campaign that still lingers. Thread
Mallam Abba was a former editor, had extensive media network, and knew what to do to stem the unceasing smear campaign, whose sources were not unknown to him. He chose not to defend himself, and insisted no one should defend him. I disagreed with but respected his decision.
Rather, he chose to focus on his work, on his conscience, and on God's judgement. His work here is done, whatever is said, good or ill, about him. May Allah SWT grant him eternal rest and comfort his family and loved ones. Ameen.
End.
