Leave Chinese Doctors, Invite Cuban, Indian Practitioners – Ohanaeze Youths Tell FG

The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) Worldwide has urged the Federal government to perish the idea of inviting doctors from China to help in the containment of COVID-19, describing it as a Greek gift that will instead escalate the number of cases in Nigeria.

In a statement signed by the President-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and the Secretary-General, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, OYC advised the government to instead seek for such assistance in Cuba or India.

OYC also alleged that the funds mapped out as palliatives for the vulnerable in the society have been looted, disputing the N100m figure reeled out by the Federal government as being disbursed.

The group queries why the resources disbursed did not pass through the banking process but instead through cash distribution.

(1) Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had alerted Nigerians to persuade Federal Government not to escalate the situation over the coronavirus pandemic with the acceptance of the Greek gift, by inviting Chinese Doctors to assist in Containing the spread of COVID-19, OYC Condemned vehemently the invitation of these ” insincere” Chinese Doctors but insists that if we are in dire need for foreign Medical Doctors, the destination should be India or Cuba, OYC urge Presidency to Contact Indian or Cuban doctors through her Foreign Missions in both Countries, as Chinese Doctors are not Sincere in Medical Profession, as they may escalate the index cases to benefit from the situation.

(2) OYC dispute the figures and claims of Ministers Farouk and Lia Mohammed, that over 100m Naira had been disbursed as a Ruse, Igbo Youths insists that 100m palliative Money had been diverted into personal pockets, there was systematic looting, by avoiding a credible banking process of Using Banks to Reach out to Nigerians with BVN for the palliative care and stimulus Packages, but indulging in physical distribution and disbursement of the palliative Money put doubts on the minds of Nigerians, who questions the credibility of the claims of disbursement of 100m palliative Money to Nigerians, by subverting a credible source of banking process, was the best way to cover the monumental looting and financial recklessness associated with the physical distribution and disbursement of palliative Money, We call for forensic investigation into the activities of Ministry of Humanitarian and Crisis Management, led by Sadiya Farouk.

(3) There’s so Much Hunger and Frustration in the Country, caused by the lockdown as the preventative method to stop the spread of COVID 19, Nigerians are gradually getting frustrated daily, We call on President Muhammadu Buhari to extend the palliative Money to the South, as majority of poor Nigerians reside in the South, the approval of 150M dollars from Sovereignty Wealth Funds by Buhari should be Shared among the three tiers of Government to cushion effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, OYC is praying for the quick recovery of all the index Cases in Nigeria, especially those that had recently tested Negative including Chief of Staff to Mr. President, Abba kyari.
