Why FG can’t tackle COVID-19 pandemic – PDP
The People’s Democratic Party has faulted the Federal Government’s approach in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The party chided the administration for what it described as attempts to shift the brunt of its failures to articulate and coordinate an effective national response to the pandemic to state governors. The party regretted that the government rebuffed wise counsels and chose a parochial approach instead.The statement said, “The Buhari Presidency rebuffed wise counsels and settled for a parochial response marred by corruption, nepotism, incompetence and narrow-minded politics, only to now turn to seek to transfer the brunt of its colossal failure to state governors.
“Our party invites Nigerians to note that the three states, where the Buhari-led Federal Government took up the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, namely; Abuja, Lagos and Ogun states, had recorded very high statistics in infection and fatality rates compared to states where it was not involved.
