…Wishes Kyari speedy recovery
The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has drawn up an advisory list of top government functionaries that may have made contact with the Chief of Staff to the President, Mallam Abba Kyari who reportedly tested positive to the COVID-19 Tuesday.
This list, among others, include the Bayelsa state governor and 16 governors of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
This is also as the CUPP expressed gratitude to God for the negative result returned in the case of President Muhammadu Buhari following his Corona virus test, while wishing his Chief of Staff, a speedy recovery.
While urging President Muhammadu Buhari to see his clean bill of health as a divine opportunity to be more proactive and do all within his powers to protect all Nigerians from the dreaded COVI-19, the CUPP calls for the immediate self-isolation and testing of every person who has had cause to visit the Aso Rock Presidential Villa since Mallam Abba Kyari returned to the country from his foreign trip.
In a statement signed by Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the CUPP listed such top functionaries as the Vice President, all Ministers, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Head of Service, all APC Governors who attended the APC leadership peace meeting, the Bayelsa State Governor who also visited the President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives who also met with the President on the 16th of March, all who attended the Commissioning of the Emergency Number 112 by the President on 19th March and indeed all who have visited the Villa or met with the Chief of Staff to the President since his return from his overseas trip.
The statement read in part: “The outcome of this positive test of the Chief of Staff to the President is worrisome and must not be politicized by any person or treated with kid’s gloves.
“The containment of the contacts of Mallam Kyari, which most likely touches the entire leadership of the country must be attended to with dispatch and professionalism.
“This contact search must be comprehensive and the Inspector General of Police and the DG SSS must use all safe and possible means to compel obedience to this national security and emergency situation.
“Everyone who still organizes any gathering of more than 50 persons under any guise whatsoever should be arrested for threatening national security.”
Hereunder is the CUPP advisory list of high profile guests and officials to the Presidential Villa who may have likely come in contact with the Chief of Staff to the President and needs immediate testing and self isolation for their own good, their loved ones, the public and the seats of power at different levels:
