President Muhammadu Buhari has been cautioned by a former lawmaker Dino
Melaye against the idea of bringing Chinese doctors to Nigeria.
A former lawmaker who represented Kogi West Senatorial District at
the National Assembly, Senator Dino Melaye, has asked President
Muhammadu Buhari to perish the idea of 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.”
