Arewa Youths Declare Position On Appointment Of New Chief Of Staff, Condoles With Buhari Over Kyari’s Death


Leadership of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has declared its position on the appointment of a new Chief of Staff by President Muhammadu Buhari.


Nigerians are eagerly waiting for the announcement of a new Chief of Staff by the President after Abba Kyari who occupied the position, died and was buried on Saturday.

Though, several names are flying about in the media on who the president may decide to pick to fill the void left by Abba Kyari, the AYCF National President, Mr. Yerima Shettima, while speaking to DAILY POST on Monday, said it is strictly Buhari’s decision to make.

On the agitation and plea by some groups, including the Ohanaeze Youth Council, for the President to pick the next Chief of Staff from the Southeast, Shettima said Arewa youth do not care how Buhari fill the position.

The group also commiserated with President Buhari and Abba Kyari’s family, friends and well-wishers over the passing of the Chief of Staff.

Kyari died of complications from the novel Coronavirus after undergoing treatments in Lagos State and was buried in Abuja on Saturday.

Death is natural. Anybody can die through any means.

It’s either you go through the Coronavirus or any means,” Shettima said, adding that there is no story about it.

“It is certain about life that someone will die; it is natural. We only pray for the family and those he left behind to bear the pain of their loss.

“For the President, it’s a great loss to him. He has said it overtime that Abba Kyari was one of his confidants and a very good friend.

“We also hope that whoever he picks as his replacement, will be honest and sincere to him.

“Replacement is purely and strictly the business of the President to decide. It is strictly the choice of the President. Whoever he decides to pick, we are okay with it. I don’t care where he picks from.”

UNSATISFIED Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Sarcastically Responds To 87-Rated FIFA 21 Card As Arsenal Talisman Receives Same Rating As Last Year

It’s safe to say Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang isn’t very happy about his FIFA 21 rating. The Gunners’ talisman has been handed an 87 rating for the new edition of the game – the same rating he was in FIFA 19. And the Gabon international has sarcastically responded to his card with a laughing face emoji. Aubameyang had another superb season for the Gunners, hitting 22 Premier League goals for Mikel Arteta’s side – the same he managed last year. However, the 31-year-old played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s FA Cup triumph, netting a brace against Chelsea to seal a first trophy in management for Arteta. Meanwhile, it is understood Aubameyang will ‘imminently’ sign a new three-year contract at the Emirates. It is understood he will become the club’s highest earner on his new deal, surpassing Mesut Ozil’s reported £350,000-a-week wages. The report adds Arteta has been integral in talks to keep the 31-year-old striker in north London. Former Arsenal head of football Raul Sanllehi is believed to ha...
