Sarki Abba, the Senior Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs to President Muhammadu Buhari, has reportedly tested positive for Coronavirus (COVID-19).
It was gathered that Abba had not been seen at the Presidential Villa since contracting the virus two weeks ago. According to a source in the Presidency, those who had come in contact with him had also been asked to self-isolate.
“Abba tested positive for COVID-19 two weeks ago but his current status as we speak is unknown, whether he has tested negative or not.
“All I know is there’s a conspiracy of silence with regards to his status,” the source said.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that President Buhari had in April lost his former Chief of Staff, Mallam Abba Kyari.
