A former lawmaker
representing Kogi West Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator
Dino Melaye, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari against inviting Chinese
doctors to Nigeria amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
Recall that the
Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, had last week disclosed that a special
cargo aircraft will leave Nigeria in a few days to collect items, which include
Personal Protective Equipment and ventilators.
He was also quoted
as saying, “Of great interest is that an 18-man team of medical experts from
China, including doctors, nurses and other medical experts shall come along
with the flight to assist us.”
Reacting on his
Twitter page, Dino Melaye urged Buhari to stop the invitation of the Chinese
doctors.
According to him, if
their arrival leads to outrageous increase in COVID-19 cases, the Federal
Government and Minister of Health will be held responsible.
“PMB please stop the
invitation of Chinese Doctors to Nigeria. Our Doctors are doing well in the
circumstance.
“Let them go to
countries with escalating cases of Coronavirus. If they come and there is
outrageous increase in cases, we will hold the FG and minister of Health
responsible.”
