The Lagos State
chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has insisted that the state
Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu must be probed over the Coronavirus pandemic.
Taofik Gani,
Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, noted that when the crisis of
the pandemic is over, Sanwo-Olu would be probed for monies received and spent
on COVID-19.
Gani lamented that
the relief packages being distributed in the state to cushion the stay-at-home
effect was a ruse.
He stated that some
of the relief packages being distributed in the state were very bad and
dehumanizing.
According to Gani:
“The reliefs claimed to be going to homes and or the vulnerable are all false.
Seriously hyped. Sanwo-Olu cannot feign any ignorance of this. Barrage of
videos, audios, pictures abound exposing the inhumanity of a government to her
citizens by the manner and quantity of reliefs going around the state.
“The so-called agric
products and Bread are so dehumanising that we have evidence of a loaf, 3kg
Rice, 3kg beans, dried pepper being distributed at ration of a bag to 50
residents. It is so bad that donors have even raised quarrels with the state
government.
“The Governor cannot
escape probe of his spendings during this scourge.”
Gani claimed that
Sanwo-Olu was using his constant media updates to distract Nigerians and people
of the state.
He maintained that
most of the governor’s remarks to the press regarding COVID-19 were lies and
fake promises.
Since the outbreak,
the governor had always updated Nigerians with situation reports regarding the
disease in the state.
However, Gani said:
“He is distracting with frequent media shows and telling lies and giving fake
promises. Recently he said there would be free surgeries and care for all
admitted, especially the pregnant. Lagosians are not excited.
“They know its
political statement. Where are the hospitals?. Where are the motivated health
officers in the state?”
Following the
outbreak of Coronavirus, President Muhammadu Buhari had approved N10bn for the
state to tackle the scourge in Lagos State.
The State currently
has the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Nigeria, with a total of
120 cases.
