NFSC  commiserates with FG on Abba Kyari’s demise

Nigerian Football Supporters Club has commiserated with the Federal Government over the loss of the late Chief of Staff, Mallam Abba Kyari who was the victim of the deadly coronavirus.

According to the President-General of the internationally reconised cheering group, Dr Rafiu Ladipo, Abba Kyari was a great loss to the football family and Nigeria as a nation.

“We as a group of football supporters club hereby commiserate with the President Muhammadu Buhari, and Nigerians over Kyari’s death. He was a man who loved and showed much interest in football. In spirit, he was always part of us as a great friend of the group. We just like to appreciate him and his death further proved that Coronavirus is ‘real’.

Dr Ladipo, however, used the medium to appeal to Nigerians to abide by the rules and keep social distance in every part of their endeavours.

The cheering leader said by doing that it would prevent the spread of the pandemic and completely kick the virus out of the country.

“At times, I am worried because Nigerians need to avoid close contact within and outside their domain and social distancing is mainly focused on large groups. However, if someone in your household is sick, it’s important to minimize close contact with them as much as possible. Having visitors should be avoided as much as possible. Quarantining is an important way to protect your loved ones and community from picking up the disease; visitors are at high risk of catching the illness from you.
Depending on where you live and your community’s situation, going outside and getting some fresh air in your yard may be safe. Always follow the guidance of your health care providers and local government.

Dr Ladipo observed that the virus kills very ‘fast’ adding that people should not play or joke with it.
