Are you not joking now?

What crap did you write up there? You were talking of lack of test kits and working gears for doctors. You are here talking public gathering? You were talking of active preparation and now praising zero death as if that has to do with Buhari?

We need to talk of massive importation of testing kits. Preparation of hospitals with supply to deal with an outbreak. We need to talk about improving social distancing, we need to actively engage researchers for trial treatments. There is so much to do that we need an intellect on board. Not the joke you are writing here.

You can see how quick you can criticise an amazing work of Mike Pence but quick to praise Buhari's incompetence.

This was my comment January, 30, 2020.

You can see how much time we had to prepare and get things right but this incompetent government chose to play football with people's lives. You are here praising them.

Time to change the wheel and get someone with the right intellect to handle such a complex affair.

Now you relating it to fortune

It's hardwork. Afortune could have saved the US, UK, Italy and Iran.

How did you conclude that preparations are not going on. Garba Shehu or what do they call him already said the FGN is making adequate preparations.

Like I stated earlier, I don't know about tomorrow. But as at this minute, the FGN needs to be commended.

More needs to be done, I agree. And should take involvement of all stakeholders- public and private.

My concern is that who leads should not be Paramount at the moment. It's getting result that's most Paramount now.

Politicizing issue in times like this is not healthy. No two way about it. It a system is presently working, leave it that way. If it fails lash out at it.

TheGoodJoe:


We need actions, not imaginary talk. Our actions is not what is keeping the count low. We need to take appropriate measures. Dele Momodu is right. Time for Osinbanjo to take charge of the Presidential task force on Covid-19.

Osinbanjo then needs to address the nation with a plan of action and immediately swing to it, then keep us updated daily on it.

We need him going through reports daily, which is no mean feat for some buffoons who want to seat in position to claim they are on situations when they are not.

CoronaVirusRelo:


Sincerely, this is brilliant and should have been welcomed and implemented. May be we could have had less casualties by now.

Like I said, constructive criticism is what is required now for people to implement. Politicizing issues should not welcomed. Same drive is what's most requires.

Dele's comments is ill and divisive with present situation. If you want to criticise, do, not saying this man is meant for the job.

What of someone else comes out and say Marice Iwu is more competent. And another says Jimi Agbaje should be out on board.

Same drive is what's required now irrespective of who leads. It's a pandemic

TheGoodJoe:


We need someone who will go through mass of data, set up a study team filter information and disseminate it.

We need improvisation methods like how to make local masks, local sanitizers and hospital handling of events.

We need to prepare to make large spaces Quarantine centres. How to make the centres conducive. Influx of testing kits and urge people to test it.

We can reach out to the South Koreans for their testing home kits for fast approval and testing here. Support them to produce it in large scale.

Educate the public for why early detection is key to succeed.

The task at hand is huge and Osinbanjo has proven he has the brain to work.

CoronaVirusRelo:


Will Osinbanjo do all this, or can he do all this. He needs a working team to achieve all. Without a team it's 0. Why I say divisive comments are very dangerous.

Criticism is highly welcomed as it bring about cutting edge resolutions. What of he leads and get sabotaged.

Let's be careful of what we bringing to the table.

It's not healthy.

I am sure Osinbajo is a medical expert who will take decisions on his own without the medical experts who have been advising the government so far. We enjoy trivialities in this part of the world rather than face real issues, divisiveness instead of unity, Dele aka Hodour is a slowpoke who intends to keep the Osinbajo is being persecuted narrative going even on the face of a serious national crisis. This sort of immoral behaviour by many mischievous individuals is setting dangerous precedence that can be invoked repeatedly in the future by mischievous elements.

Coronavirus: Why Buhari is ‘Side-lining’ Osinbajo – Dele Momodu


buhari sidelining osinbajo dele momodu
The Publisher of Ovation Magazine and former presidential candidate, Dele Momodu, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of “playing political cards” with the Coronavirus pandemic.

Momodu berated the president in his weekly column, “Pendulum” on Saturday. He criticized the president for ‘side-lining’ the Vice president, Yemi Osinbajo over 2023 Politics. He wrote;

“It is unpardonable that Mr Buhari will totally ignore a man as modern, cerebral, diligent and conscientious as his own Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo SAN and instead ask the Secretary to the Federal Government, Mr Boss Mustapha, to handle what is a global crisis.”

“There are only two reasons why Professor Osinbajo is seemingly being side-lined. The first is the politics of 2023 and the second is the unforgivable feeling that he will upstage the President by once again delivering a stellar performance in governance.”

“Nobody knows what will happen in 2023, and I really don’t care for now, but we are all concerned about what is presently happening around us. As for upstaging the President, had this not been so tragic it would have been just plain laughable.”

Momodu adds that unless the president understands the importance of ‘team-work’, no significant progress will be made for the country.

He pointed out that all the ministers and governors should have been put under the control of the VP. It will be recalled that shortly after winning the 2019 general elections, President Buhari ordered his ministers to direct all their queries and needs to his Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari instead of VP Osinbajo.

“All the relevant Ministers and State Governors should have been assembled under the central command of our Vice President. It is not remarkable to us that the only ray of hope shone when the National Economic Council headed by the VP met yesterday and immediately charted a course that the Presidential Task Force had found practically impossible.”

“I believe that this is a situation where all hands must be on deck. Even members of the opposition should be invited to offer their own advice, logistics and support like we saw in South Africa. Nigeria is not owned by APC and there is no reason to claim a monopoly of wisdom.”

He urged the President to quickly handover the COVID-19 taskforce to VP Osinbajo.

“The time to act and pass the mantle on to an astute visionary leader and commanding presence is now. Let the Vice President take the helm as Deputy Chairman, with the President as the National Chairman of the reconstituted task force on this damaging and debilitating COVID-19.”

“The Government must not fail, because that will mean all of us have failed”, he concluded.

Hello, This is not a time to be selective on who and who is piloting. Getting result is the ultimate and that we are getting.

Politicising or creating division is not what is needed now. The administration is doing fantastically well as of date and Dele's gibberish is now required in times like this.

At the end, it will be the success of the administration. And not that of Buhari, Osinbanjo or any Governor.

jelel6:
I've expressed my disappointment on the seemingly slow response of the government to foresee the impending dangers COVID-19 could pose to us.

But, when you read nonsense like this Dele has just wrote hear, you start to wonder if people who work in the media are all generally this petty?

When did Oshibanjo become the expert at managing infectious diseases? As the vice president, does Oshibanjo require any prompt before he puts those 'Sterling brilliance' to good use?

'It's about 2023, it's about upstaging his boss'. I can't believe it. How many presidents has asked their deputies to head their response to COVID-19 taskforce around the globe? Grown man talking like a complete idiot.

Serving as a president for 2 hours is not the same as serving for 4 years. Familiarity bias works in reverse too. It's just a case of in the 'moment' progress. We'd only know if after 12 months we don't just read of or feel progress, but actually SEE IT FOR REAL.

Our problems or failures are collective, the president is just the figurehead we chose to recognize as the problem. Oshibanjo or whoever will suffer the same fate.

TheGoodJoe:


Mike Pence heads the Presidential task force against Covid-19 in America. He is the vice president. He has little to no training in infectious disease management but was appointed because of his ability to use the best resources to get good results.

Osinbanjo has showed his capability of handling crisis as he did during Buhari's medical sojourn. Most important was his handling of the rising dollar rate. He showed flexibility in his handling of micro investment schemes and even the Niger Delta crisis during the avengers bombing of oil installations.

It is a crime to sideline him in this Covid-19 battle we are facing. Ethnic and tribal bias is not the way to go.

CoronaVirusRelo:
Some people are cursed!

In times like this, it's saddening people still choose to politicize issues.

The administration is making tremendous efforts and that's all that matters for now. The fronts each play individually is inconsequential and top most priority is "Containment" which is happening.

Whoever that disagrees with your rating of Buhari is hate filled,right ? That's the way of zombies,I'm not surprised in anyway.

Dude,pray that a cure is found for the virus before the situation gets out of hand in Nigeria otherwise, what Italy is experiencing now will be a child's play ! It will dawn on you that the virus has spread much more than what is currently being reported.

If you think Buhari deserves any honour, your zombiism must be an imported one from Mongolia ! Kpele,a to ka loju e!
