Yahaya Bello Says Buying COVID-19 Vaccines Is Misplaced Priority For Nigeria by Napoleonhell: 8:48am On Dec 25, 2020 |
Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, has once again expressed his disagreement with the Federal Government's public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bello has long been a vocal critic of the handling of the pandemic and has called the coronavirus a 'hoax' marketed by the media to spread unnecessary panic. Over 79,000 COVID-19 cases have been recorded in Nigeria since February with more than 1,200 people dying as a result of infection. After months of recording low figures on a daily basis, Nigeria's COVID-19 cases have spiked in December with over 13,000 infections detected by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in three weeks. Hopes about ending the pandemic has improved over the past few weeks with the deployment of COVID-19 vaccines in the United States and the United Kingdom. President Muhammadu Buhari said on Tuesday, December 22 his government will ensure that Nigerians benefit from the vaccines expected to effectively contain the novel disease. "This is an important obligation that we owe Nigerians as we go into year 2021, and it must be carried out through an efficient machinery," he said. Nigeria is expected to spend hundreds of billions of naira on procuring the vaccines next year, but Bello believes the nation's economy and insecurity should be the focus of the Buhari-led government. While speaking during a Channels TV interview on Wednesday, December 23, Bello said the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has not been giving Buhari the right ideas on managing the pandemic. He said, "We have an economy that Mr President inherited, struggling, recession, low income, left, right, and centre; and Mr President is doing his best to make sure he pulls it out of the woods. "Those of us charged with the responsibility of advising Mr President should do that with utmost fear of God almighty." Bello said the economic disruption caused by COVID-19 restrictions imposed by the government has robbed many Nigerians of their livelihood, and should not be allowed to continue. The 45-year-old said Nigeria should not simply apply the same methods adopted by other countries. "I don't think we should apply same solution across," he said. Since it was first detected in China in December 2019, COVID-19 has infected over 78 million people and killed over 1.7 million across the world. |

I'm actually on the same page with this man on this. Almost every Nigerian has suffered from corona virus and recovered. Corona virus is just an advanced malaria. While we should take precautions, the economy needs more attention. Some of us have not eaten good food for months now yet someone people are talking about another lock down. Abeg someone should ask for my akkant in the spirit of Christmas |
