Senator Abubakar Kyari, the ministerial nominee from Borno State, has taken a bow and left. The reasons were many on this occasion. The gentle and intelligent personality of the former House of Representatives Member, a former Senator, and current acting Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC speaks volumes when it comes to an address in both legislative and executive duties.
Many have described the acting National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, as the best candidate for a ministerial position in Borno State. Taking a sweep across the 28 names so far submitted with groaning on other names by Nigerians, many who spoke about the Borno nomination said Senator Abubakar Kyari has all the qualities that will push the new administration to success wherever he may be assigned.

From about 174 comments on Facebook and many who spoke with me in the past few days. Many said that Senator Abubakar Kyari remains a man of great vision and impeccable character, a man of tremendous experience, exposure, and competence, and a truly patriotic leader.
“He is a leader who believes in the unity of the people irrespective of political party affiliation, religion, or tribe. He is a good listener, a pragmatist, a reformer, and a master of strategic thinking. When you are talking of Capacity, Commitment, and Dedication. It ends with Senator Abubakar Kyari,” some who took to his Facebook page wrote.
According to some of his associates,
Senator Abubakar Kyari: Out of Sight is not out of love. Stating that despite the busy schedule of Distinguished Senator Abubakar Kyari, his philanthropic nature remains unchanged. His love for his dear people is second to none. His concern for the plight of his people remains very deep.
“Distinguished Senator Abubakar Kyari has not quite long supplied medical equipment worth over $200 million to the people of Yala Bornoye and has continued to extend gestures to the farmers in the region.
“We recalled that he distributed 525 water pumps for irrigation farming, a contribution that has gone a long way in boosting dry season farming in the region, which in turn creates employment opportunities, boosts commercial activities, and provides abundant food for human consumption. We believe Humanity is his second name, and by his nomination, more is coming to play in his new position, not only in the cushioning of problems from his constituency or Borno state but to a larger Nigeria, as we believe the impact of his actions will be felt far and wide.”
The Borno ministerial nominee, Abubakar Kyari, was born 60 years ago. Precisely on January 15, 1963. He attended Capital School in Kaduna for his primary education from 1968 to 1974 and Barewa College in Zaria for his secondary education from 1974 to 1979.
