Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai revealed on Saturday that he tested positive for the COVID-19 disease, joining President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, who had earlier contracted the virus.
Consequently, human rights organisation, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), on Sunday appealed to Nigerians to pray for Kyari and El-Rufai because they are both trusted and have served humanity with all their strengths.
According to Daily Post, MURIC’s Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola said in a statement that “both Abba Kyari and Governor Nasir El-Rufai deserve prayers from Nigerians. They’re both tested and trusted. Both of them are the embodiments of loyalty, trust, dedication and service to humanity.
The statement continues: “Abba Kyari has served Nigeria with all his strength. He proved a most loyal and dedicated aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, particularly during the latter’s prolonged illness.
“El-Rufai has exhibited exemplary leadership, uncommon courage and immense love for the citizens of Kaduna State.
“We call on Nigerians to pray for their quick recovery. Let us remember them in our supplications every hour of the day.
“To the duo of Abba Kyari and El-Rufai, we say, ‘Though you are in isolation we are with you in spirit. You are not alone.
“The good people of Kaduna and Nigerians, in general, are with you. We are confident that Almighty Allah, the great healer, will heal you and you will emerge from isolation to continue your good work.”
