COVID-19 Response: UN Has Dammed Buhari’s Critics BMO

The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has described the United Nations’ commendation of Nigeria’s response to Covid-19 as the perfect answer to critics of the government’s handling of the pandemic.

BMO said in a statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary Cassidy Madueke, that only international bodies with access to information across the world are in the best position to carry out a proper and unbiased country-to-country situation analysis

“We invite Nigerians to pay close attention to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres who was emphatic about Nigeria’s quick response to the Coronavirus.

“He singled out Nigeria as a shinning example for the world at a recent virtual news briefing in New York, USA, and noted that the country did well at a time many developed countries failed to rise up to the challenge posed by the virus.

“This is by no means different from what Dr Clement Peter, the officer-in-charge of the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Nigeria said several weeks ago, and who also added that the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) is ‘one of the best control centers in Africa.

“We want to add that the man President Muhammadu Buhari placed in charge of the NCDC and who is also playing a pivotal role at this time, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu is one of the most respected epidemiologists in the world.

“We, however, find it strange that some highly placed individuals are buying into the false narrative of a poor response mechanism at a time the country is receiving global encomiums from those who know,” the group added.
