Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister, has opposed plans by the Federal government to receive medical kits and personnel from China to help in the battle of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, at the daily briefing of the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19 on Friday, said some Chinese companies in Nigeria have helped to purchase some medical kits in China and that a cargo aircraft would be sent to China in a few days to pickup the consignment as well as bring in some medical experts.

“I have been notified of medical supplies from China, courtesy of a group of Chinese companies working here in Nigeria. A special cargo aircraft shall leave Nigeria in a few days to collect the items which include commodities, personal protective equipment and ventilators. An 18-man team of Chinese medical experts including doctors, nurses and other medical advisers shall come along with the flight to assist us. I must at this juncture commend our frontline workers who are doing a great job in case identification and management.

As we prepare to contain COVID-19, we must not lose sight of other health challenges in our country. Routine health service must continue in our hospitals. Only a wing of tertiary health centres should be used for infected patients.” he said

FFK says this is not a good move. Taking to his Twitter handle to oppose it, he wrote

Mr. President, Do NOT allow 5G in Nigeria & if you have already done so burn it. Do NOT accept face masks & other accessories from the Chinese to help prevent coronavirus. Do NOT accept help from Chinese doctors. Do NOT accept any anti-Coronavirus vaccines from ANYONE

Dummy.

If the Chinese aim to infect Nigeria with Covid-19 all they need to do is contaminate 36 Techno handsets and wait.

Useless statement
What tangible thing has he done to the growth of this country rather than talking


He does not have any manufacturing company nor any business that can produce the simplest face mask
And he is talking

China own you and Nigeria .

Ask federal government
If they decide to kill you it does not cost them anything.
The plate you use to eat China
The cloth you wear including the igbo attire China
The phone you use China
The handkerchief you use china
Tooth pick china
Furniture in your house china
Pumping machine china
The bed you sleep on china
Then what else
