Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister, on Friday urged
the Federal government and Nigerians to unite in the fight against the deadly
Coronavirus codenamed COVID-19.
Fani-Kayode urged federal government to be pro-active in
tackling the deadly disease.
He made the appeal while reacting after the Nigerian
government confirmed a case of the disease in Lagos State.
The Federal Ministry of Health on Friday had made the
confirmation in a statement signed by Dr Osagie Ehanire, Minister of Health.
However, Fani-Kayode in a tweet wrote: “Let’s set our
differences aside &stand AS ONE to fight this evil plague called
#coronavirus that has afflicted our shores.The FG must be pro-active and we
must do our part &pray. May God defend our people &protect our shores.
“The honourable Minister of Health has announced a confirmed
coronavirus disease (COVID-19) case in Lagos State
“The case, which was confirmed on the 27th of February 2020,
is the first case to be reported in Nigeria since the beginning of the outbreak
in China in January 2020. #CoronaVirusUpdates #coronavirusus
#coronavirusnigeria.”
Recall that Coronavirus which broke out in Wuhan Province of
China late last year has gradually spread to several countries of the world.
Several people were been reported to have died from the
virus, with about 300 others infected in China
In January 2020, the World Health Organisation, WHO, had
declared Coronavirus a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
