Senior Presidential Media Aide, Garba Shehu has said being barred from entering the Presidential Villa after attending the burial of the late Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, “is nothing extraordinary”.
Reacting to media reports via his verified Twitter handle @GarShehu, he said the decision is in line with the laid down protocols by the @NCDCgov and the federal ministry of health.
“There is nothing extraordinary about those of us who attend Abba Kyari’s funeral being advised to distance ourselves from the Villa.
“This is in line with the standard rules put in place by the National Center for Disease Control, @NCDCgov and the Federal Ministry of Health. You do these things to stop the spread of #Coronavirus.
“For the most part, the Villa has operated digitally in the last few weeks so there is really nothing new to this,” Garba Shehu tweeted.
