Chukwuemeka Ezeife, a former Governor
of Anambra State, has advised people of the South East against allowing medical
personnel of the Nigerian Military treat their children.
Ezeife issued the advise in
reaction to the commotion caused by the military’s free medical treatment in
Anambra State.
The former governor noted that
people of the South East were capable of taking care of themselves, because
they were rich to do so.
Speaking with The Sun, Ezeife
said, “Last week, I was in Anambra, a traditional ruler called me and told me
that his people were called to come out on Wednesday for free medical treatment
by the military.
“He asked me whether he should
allow his people to come out for the exercise. I told him, no, that if we could
not stop them from killing with guns, we shouldn’t allow them to kill us with
syringe.
“But on Wednesday, they went to
schools in Anambra for the free medial treatment and everybody including school
children were running helter-skelter, and parents were running to take back
their children in the schools.
”I appeal to every parent in the
Southeast to not allow their children to be treated by the soldiers. We are
rich enough to treat our children.
“We are grateful to the governor
of Anambra State for approaching the military and advising them to stop the
medical treatment of our people until we understand what they want to do.
“The military should have gone to
the minister of Education or the commissioner of Education or commissioner of
Health, and the governor before releasing the soldiers in a civilian population.
Whether it was an intended good or evil, they approached it in a very wrong
way.”
