Reno Omokri, former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan
has given reasons why President Muhammadu Buhari has failed to restrict flights
from high risk countries with Coronavirus.
The spread of Coronavirus has shut down economies, sport
events and put the world on stand still.
Canada, Italy among other countries have closed all borders
in order to curtail the further spread and increase in COVID-19 cases.
However, Buhari’s government has insisted that the border
will remain open and that flights from Europe are welcome.
Reno Omokri, however, says Buhari’s government has refused
to restrict flights from high risk nations because former vice president Atiku
Abubakar raised the suggestion earlier.
The former presidential spokesman further appealed to Buhari
to drop his ego and save the lives of Nigerians at risk.
Omokri on his Twitter page wrote: “The reason General Buhari
does not want to restrict flights from Coronavirus high risk nations is because
the closure of borders was first suggested by Atiku Abubakar.
“He does not want Atiku to get the credit. This is about
ego. Buhari must drop his ego and do the right thing to save lives!
Atiku had urged the government to restrict flights into
Nigeria.
Meanwhile, the Senate has asked Buhari to immediately impose
travel ban on high risk countries as Nigeria records third case.
The third case was confirmed after a 30-year-old lady who
returned from Uk on the 13th of March tested positive of COVID-19.
