Coronavirus: Buhari’s Supporters Praise His Approach

Supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari have hailed what they described as his prompt response to the discovery of a coronavirus-positive patient in Nigeria and the measures taken to prevent the spread is quite commendable.

The supporters under the aegis of the Buhari Media Organisation (BMO), while applauding the President for his pro-activeness, berated the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for what it describes as a heinous and callous attempt to politicise the issue.

According to the BMO, while the Buhari administration was busy mobilizing available human and material resources at its disposal at all level of governance to confront the dreaded disease, the PDP seemed to delight in the lone confirmed case in the country, all in a bid to deride President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration.

In a statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary Cassidy Maduekwe, BMO said PDP was trying to politicise the entry of the disease in the country at a time when most developed counties around the world, and the World Health Organisation (WHO), were commending Nigeria for its proactive measures and high level of preparedness.

The PDP had in the days following the revelation of the virus in the country lambasted the president for failing to address the nation on the development.

The president, however, spoke on the development through a press statement issued on his behalf by his media aide, Mallam Garba Shehu on Monday.

“Testimonies from various travellers into Nigeria through the nation’s airports commending Nigeria for its adequate precautionary measures have confirmed the government’s commitment and efforts to prevent the spread of the disease in Nigeria,” the BMO said.

“So, this latest attempt by the PDP to cast aspersion on President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration, to divert people’s attention from various interventions the Buhari administration has been making, and to present to the world that the administration is doing nothing to confront the dreaded disease, is dead on arrival.”
