the former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme Prof. Usman Yusuf, for criticizing the manner some state governments are managing the coronavirus challenges.
Yusuf had cried out that Governor Abdullahi Ganduje is lying and downplaying the current happenings in the State. But in a communiqué after a teleconference Sunday morning, the coalition said, but for the lockdown order on the Federal Capital Territory , it would have carried out mass protest to demand the arrest and prosecution of Prof. Usman Yusuf who should by now be in prison or still facing trial for corruption, rather than misleading the people with fancy talk.
“Our coalition would like to recall that Prof. Usman Yusuf was Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme , a position that afforded him the opportunity to improve the quality of primary healthcare in the country. “A few months later, he was involved in another fraud related matter for which the Secretary to the Government of the Federation set up a new panel of inquiry which after investigations found him guilty and therefore recommended to the president for his dismissal; and he was sacked by President Buhari in July 2019,” the communiqué stated.
