In Another Story Chinese Doctors: Hold Buhari, APC Responsible For Any COVID-19 Upsurge – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged Nigerians to hold President Muhammadu Buhari responsible should there be any upsurge in the rate of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) infection and death in the country.

This, according to the party followed the importation of doctors from China, the epicenter of the scourge, by the Buhari-led federal government

A statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of party, Kola Ologbondiyan on Wednesday night said, the PDP was alarmed that President Buhari ignored the protests by Nigerians and professional bodies including the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) and allowed the importation of the Chinese doctors despite warnings that bringing in doctors from the hotbed of the plague could expose the country’s citizens to further risks.

The statement read in part: “This is even as Nigerians across board have continued to question the status, identity and interest of the Chinese doctors as well as the safety of kits and equipment from China, particularly following scary reports of escalation of the scourge in certain countries reportedly after the arrival of Chinese medical personnel in those countries.

“Moreover, our doctors and nurses have been on top of the situation with records of recoveries and less casualties, thus raising questions about the real intentions of bringing in doctors from China.
