Those calling for the President to address the nation on the COVID-19 pandemic has been asked to consider the worth of a television address against getting the country prepared for the fallout of the pandemic.

The Buhari Media Organization (BMO) in a statement cautioned that getting the country prepared to prevent the spread of the pandemic in the country should have priority over Presidential address.

The group in the statement signed by Niyi Akinsiju and Cassidy Madueke, its Chairman and Secretary respectively, said that strengthening Nigeria’s institutions, and taking the necessary steps to bolster the country’s preparedness.

“We believe that a nationwide address is good and desirable, but it should not take precedence over preparation towards dealing with the pandemic.

“It has never been in the character of the President to play to the gallery. He works by the philosophy that what matters is getting the job done. And in this instance, ensuring that the well-being and lives of the Nigerian people during this pandemic is maintained and secured is of the utmost importance”.

The group noted that “in good governance, action speaks louder than words. We have seen the President Buhari administration take critical steps in ensuring it contains the spread and prevents entry of the pandemic into the country.

“The administration has also ensured that it put in place the necessary cushions to prevent any shocks to the economy, especially given the drop in global crude oil prices.

“At this time, what Nigerians need is first information, the right information to make the right decisions in a pandemic so as to prevent any spread. The Minister of Health briefs the nation at least three times a week. Also, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has been sharing updates on a daily basis from its situation room. All hands are on deck on all fronts.

“All government institutions, task forces and committees are working assiduously to ensure that Nigeria is safe from the effects of the pandemic.”

The group explained further that while it was good to address the nation, to boost spirits, it is perhaps not the best move to make so as not to feed any feelings of panic that something dreadful is underway.

Please rephrase the word "WE"..

Fatherly role indeed

Keep deceiving yourselves. I've talked about his silence on many threads and i didn't find it funny in the hands of those who felt it was normal. In a sane country, such a nonchalant attitude expressed by him wouldn't have happened because he would have known the consequences by now. We saw same man almost everyday on the national telly before elections addressing Nigerians and asking for votes. All I can say is, it's well with Nigeria

Senseless asslicking group always glorifying incompetency.You will all get screwed.

Na e keep naija like dis..."louder than tv address"

Well said!

In as much as he has been silent, the approach of his administration has been top notch.

In a world where people believe much talk is a drive, it's very difficult to convince majority that voice is the least of what is required but actions.

With the count as at today in Nigeria, it will unfair not to give kudos to the administration of His Excellence President Mohammadu Buhari (GCFR)

Though more still needs to be done with constructive criticisms, I believe with all hands on deck without politicising the pandemic at hand, a lot can be achieved.


God bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria

If this is not sycophancy in its full glory then I wonder what it is.



Nigeria and Nigerians has been scammed

Dear God please have mercy on Nigerians as we acknowledge that only you truly can save us.
BTW after this crisis we really need to tell ourselves the truth that we don't have leaders in this country.......a pandemic is spreading yet the president and his advisers see no reason to address the nation on the state of affairs. Anybody that supports the president slience is definately insane there's no arguments about it

Audio actions

If indeed, actions speaks louder than TV, Nigerians don't need the BMO to point or remind us of what Buhari is doing

We love you bubu

But God love you more

Hit coro and have peace of mind.

I only want the best for you

This is quite funny.

We saw where his body odour landed us.

Robot.

Sai Baba!

Oral assurance can have a greater magnitude than action sometimes.

Addressing the Nigerian citizens concerning the epidemic will soar our confidence, believing we will beat the virus.

Not getting words of Motivation from the number one citizen of the country is as catastrophic as the epidemic itself.

We are still waiting for Buhari to address Nigerians on TV

Other National Presidents have done theirs, even showing emotions but the Nigerian President has shown that he cares less

directing all his ministers to follow the directive of Abba Kyari shows some scientists have worked on the brain of that cow in asorock


I just pray they get exposed on time before majority of Nigerians who reelected and defend the cow regret ever voting him

Niyi and Madueke the two idiots that can sell their mothers for a pot of tuwo da Miyan kwuka. They can defend a northern president even when he is killing their people. What an hausa man cannever ditto a southern president
