God is not a man! Abba Kyari died here in Nigeria, unable to travel for medical.
They brought in those Chinese Specialists basically because of him (quote me) but the Supreme Being (God) is the giver and taker of life. Fix our Health Sector and Stop by looting Nigeria. Those who live by
propaganda shall die by propaganda.
