A high ranking Member of President Buhari’s Cabinet has died of coronavirus.
The information was gathered in a tweet monitored on Kemi Olunloyo’s verified Twitter handle today.
However, Kemi says she will refrain from naming the deceased as there are people within the Villa whose duty it is to make the announcement. She would also not make the announcement in the interest of national security.
She added that another reason she will not mention the name of the deceased is because some people will not be compassionate about it.
Nonetheless, Ms Olunloyo advises the officials to endeavour to make the announcement as quickly as possible.
Her post:
