Coronavirus: PDP Chides Presidency’s Response

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has berated the Muhammadu Buhari Presidency for what it claimed was the negligence of the administration and laid back attitude to governance which it claimed was responsible for the importation of coronavirus into the country.

Noting that the administration was not responsible to its activities, the party in a statement issued by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondinyan said Nigerians should directly hold the Buhari Presidency responsible should any national calamity arose from COVID-19 in addition to the economic and security challenges its negligence had caused our nation.

“Due to the negligence and incompetence of the Buhari administration, Nigerians can no longer move freely across their country for fear of insurgents, bandits, kidnappers and now corona virus.

“Indeed, the Buhari government is a huge misfortune to our nation. This latest leadership failure further validates widespread calls for it to step aside for more competent hands to manage the affairs of our country.

“The PDP therefore calls on Nigerians not to despair but stir up the Nigerian resilient spirit for an urgent, multi sectoral concerted effort by agencies, groups, corporate entities and public-spirited individuals to immediately curb the disease before it spreads, particularly given the prevalent security, economic and humanitarian challenges in the country.

“The party called on the Federal Government to end its cosmetic attitude and immediately adopt the proactive strategy used by the PDP administration to promptly contain the Ebola Virus disease in 2014.

“The PDP also advised Nigerians to be very vigilant and follow intervention directives to ensure that the disease does not spread in the country.

“The party urged the ministry of health to continue to be open and not allow propaganda, speculations and misinformation in the handling of this health emergency.”
