Coronavirus: Stop Playing Politics With COVID-19 – PDP Advice APC Government

The President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has been accused by the Peoples Democratic Party of playing politics with the Coronavirus epidemic.

The party noted that rather than join Nigerians in reducing the spread of the virus, the APC-led administration is busy sorting issues within the party.

PDP in a statement through its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, stated that the APC government, “has failed to adduce any meaningful suggestion on ways to address the raging pandemic, but had rather enmeshed in internal squabbles while the country is at risk.”

“Nigerians will recall that the PDP had on several occasions advised the federal government on effective pre-emptive measures as well as the need for concerted efforts in the fight against Covid-19”

“We have counselled the All Progressives Congress, APC, not to play politics with the Covid-19, but join other well-meaning Nigerians in seeking a solution for the scourge.”

“It is on record that the APC, even as a party in government has failed to adduce any meaningful suggestion on ways to address the raging pandemic, but had rather enmeshed itself in internal squabbles while the country is at risk.”

“The PDP had been on the forefront in canvassing for stringent steps at our international ports and borderlines, consequent upon which President Muhammadu Buhari approved a belated international travel ban from 13 countries.”

The Party noted that the ruling APC is only angry about its success recorded in the South West.

“The APC is only sulking over the success being recorded by our party in the South West, for which it has resorted to making vague allegations and playing politics with a global pandemic at a time when responsible Nigerians are searching for a solution.”

“The PDP will however not be distracted in its commitment to the wellbeing and safety of Nigerians. As such, our party will not dissipate energy on the APC and its government that have no regard for Nigerians.”
