The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused the All
Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal Government of playing politics with the
Coronavirus epidemic.
PDP lamented that rather than join Nigerians in finding
solutions to the disease, the APC-led Federal Government was enmeshed in
internal squabbles.
In a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the
former ruling party said it is on record that the APC, even as a party in
government, “has failed to adduce any meaningful suggestion on ways to address
the raging pandemic, but had rather enmeshed in internal squabbles while the
country is at risk.”
The statement reads partly: “Nigerians will recall that the
PDP had on several occasions advised the federal government on effective
pre-emptive measures as well as the need for concerted efforts in the fight
against Covid-19
“We have counseled the All Progressives Congress, APC, not
to play politics with the Covid-19, but join other well-meaning Nigerians in
seeking solution for the scourge.
“It is on record that the APC, even as a party in government
has failed to adduce any meaningful suggestion on ways to address the raging
pandemic, but had rather enmeshed itself in internal squabbles while the
country is at risk.
“The PDP had been on the forefront in canvassing for
stringent steps at our international ports and borderlines, consequent upon
which President Muhammadu Buhari approved a belated international travel ban
from 13 countries.
“The APC is only sulking over the success being recorded by
our party in the South West, for which it has resorted to making vague
allegations and playing politics with a global pandemic at a time when
responsible Nigerians are searching for solution.
“The PDP will however not be distracted in its commitment to
the wellbeing and safety of Nigerians. As such, our party will not dissipate
energy on the APC and its government that have no regard for Nigerians.”
Meanwhile, the Federal Government had imposed travel
restrictions from some countries seen as high risk areas.
The action was taken to prevent further spread of Covid19 in
Nigeria.
