    BREAKING: Buhari’s Chief Of Staff, Abba Kyari, Reportedly Sick, Suspected Of Contracting Coronavirus 2


     

    Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, is said to be seriously ill and in fact suspected of being infected with Coronavirus.

    A top government source told SaharaReporters on Monday that Kyari has been seriously “down” since returning from a trip abroad. 

    Kyari visited Germany and Egypt and only returned this week, giving credence to the fact that he may have indeed been infected with the virus. 

    Egypt has 327 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and 14 deaths while Germany has 29,056 infections and 123 deaths. 

    Though coughing severely, Kyari is said to have been attending meetings including with Buhari, Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, ministers and other members of the Federal Executive Council. 

    Executive Chairman of Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Prof James Momoh, was said to have accompanied Kyari on the trip to both countries. 

    The latest development comes hours after a leaked memo showed Kyari telling Nigerian legislators, who recently returned from foreign trips, to submit themselves for Coronavirus test. 

    It also comes after Aisha Buhari, wife of Nigeria’s President, disclosed that one of her daughters was in self-isolation after returning from the United Kingdom, one of the high risk countries for the virus. 

    On Monday, Nigeria confirmed its first Coronavirus death after a former Managing Director of Pipelines and Products Marketing Company, a subsidiary of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Suleiman Achimugu, succumbed to the virus in Abuja. 

    Earlier, the Nigerian Center for Disease Control announced a total of 36 confirmed cases but with Kyari’s suspected infection, that figure may have now risen to 37.

    Sin, Arrogance And Disobedience Responsible For Coronavirus —CAN President 12


     

    President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Rev. Samson Ayokunle, on Sunday said arrogance of humans against God, sin and all sorts of wickedness were responsible for the Coronavirus outbreak in Nigeria and other parts of the world. 

    Ayokunle made this assertion in his sermon on a cable television on Sunday. 

    The cleric identified ungratefulness among other factors as responsible for the outbreak and spread of the pandemic. 

    He said, “As in the case of the children of Israel in this passage, the arrogance of man against God and lawfully constituted authority led to God’s anger and judgment over the people.

    “People say anything today against God and against the word of God. 

    “The Holy scriptures injunctions which are God’s commands no longer matter before us. We query the validity today of the word of God and equally deliberately act against it. 

    “All practices that would make us worship God we reject or abandon under the guise of fundamental human right. 

    “This pride and arrogance against God came because of advancement in technology. We feel we can do many things without God and thus become ‘god’ to ourselves. 

    “Technological advancement should make us to reference God the more because he is the revealer of knowledge. 

    “Sinfulness is an extension of my first point of arrogance against God. 

    “In Nigeria, violence has become a daily occurrence.”

    On what can be done to overcome Coronavirus and other similar diseases, the cleric assured those, who are godly to nurse no fear of any pandemic. 

    He reminded them of how God used the blood of the lamb to protect His people in Goshen when the angels of destruction were killing the first born of the Egyptians.

    Nigeria has announced 28 confirmed cases of the deadly virus with fears mounting of a further spread.

  • Govt won’t compromise on workers’ welfare during MCO: Saravanan

    Govt won’t compromise on workers’ welfare during MCO: Saravanan 15

    KUALA LUMPUR: The government will never compromise on the welfare of workers, especially during the two-week period of the Movement Control Order (MCO).

    Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan (pix) said the government needed the cooperation of all parties, including employers and employees, to come up with a positive solution.

    “We need to curb the Covid-19 pandemic and our unity in this matter is extremely crucial to achieving the success we seek,” he said in a statement today.

    The MCO, effective nationwide from March 18 to March 31, was declared by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on March 16 aimed at curbing the spread of the virus.

    Meanwhile, Saravanan said that until today there were still reports of factories operating during the MCO and forcing their employees to take annual leave and unpaid leave.

    “Such irresponsible action will surely thwart the government’s efforts to tackle and break the Covid-19 chain,” he said.

    Commenting further, he said the two-week MCO is one of the most challenging periods faced by all Malaysians in the fight to curb the spread of the virus.

    “This move will surely have a huge impact on local workers and businesses. However, it is everyone’s responsibility to adhere to the MCO,” he said. – Bernama
