PDP tells Nigerians to protect themselves, says Buhari lacks direction on COVID-19

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has urged Nigerians to protect themselves because the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has no plans for them concerning coronavirus.

The PDP stated this as Nigeria begins the ease of lockdown on Monday, May 4, after five weeks of staying at home on the orders of the President.

Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, advised Nigerians not to “resign to fate and jeopardize their lives following President Buhari’s failure to find direction in the fight against the spread of COVID-19 in our country despite the huge resources at his disposal.”

The PDP added that Buhari and his “incompetent Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 had compounded the situation by crippling the economy after which they are now leaving Nigerians to their fate without providing any therapeutic or operable containment strategy to stem the rising spread and fatalities of COVID-19 in our country.

“Our party notes that the inept leadership of Buhari Presidency failed to engage our indigenous medical experts and manufacturers for homegrown solutions in therapeutics, test kits and ventilators; leading to an avoidable spike of the pandemic in our country”.
