In a tweet, Sani said Kyari took bullets for his master with smiles and silence, yet no one knew his side of the story.
“Abba Kyari; The President has lost a trusted & loyal friend. A man who took the bullets of his master with smiles, calmness & silence,” he said.
“We knew his cap & his colors but never his mind or his own side of his story. He will be missed as a Punchman or a punch.”
