The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has berated the Federal Government for what it Tuesday described as its “denials and cover-up on the whereabouts and activities of the Chinese medical experts it brought into our country last month.”

While demanding an apology, the party said the conduct of the Federal Government in disclaiming the Chinese team and declaring that it cannot account for their whereabouts after it had accorded them state reception, “exposed the government’s dishonesty and inherent corruption that pervade the APC administration.”

The PDP in a statement issued by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondinyan described as bizarre that the Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, disclaimed the Chinese team, denied involvement and knowledge of their whereabouts.

The party noted that the “declaration by the minister of health that government cannot account for the medical team it officially received, directly triggered public alarm and raised suspicion of clandestine designs against our nation, consequent upon which our party issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Federal Government.

The PDP further observed that “the APC administration would have faced the anger of Nigerians for its lack of transparency, at the lapsing of the 48-hours ultimatum, but for the clarifications by the Chinese Embassy and CCECC.”

“With this clarification by CCECC,  the PDP demands that the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19  should come clean on the reasons it claimed ignorance of the whereabouts of the Chinese team and apologize to Nigerians.

“This is because our party believes that the health minister’s conduct betrayed a plot by certain officials of the Federal Government to deceive Nigerians and ostensibly distract public attention from the acts of corruption being perpetrated in the fight against COVID-19 in our country.”

“The PDP applauded Nigerians for supporting its 48-hour ultimatum to the Federal Government and assured that it would never relent in protecting their interest at all times, particularly against the cabal in the APC, who are bent at not only pillaging our national resources but also to cause confusion in the polity.”
