The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Monday, told state governors not to take the raging COVID-19 pandemic as a joke.

He asked them to step up enlightenment of their people on the seriousness of the infection by ensuring they stayed safe.

Buhari also called on the governors to work closely with the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 to streamline the measures targeted at containing the spread.

The President made the call during a virtual meeting he held with the governors.

While he participated in the meeting via a video conference from the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum and Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, led his colleagues to join from other locations.

The President stated that having received a briefing from the PTF’s Chairman and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, he had directed that both sides worked closely.

“I have directed that they work very closely with the governors”, he said, adding, “We have to be very careful. We need to continue to educate and persuade the people to accept the reality of the situation, and do all that is necessary to stay safe.”

Buhari told the governors that the pandemic was “beyond technology, power, and resources.”

The President noted that big countries with huge resources were overwhelmed by the pandemic, an indication that small countries like Nigeria must take precautionary measures more seriously.

“The meeting also discussed economic and security issues, among others, with the governors commending the President on the ‘leadership and direction’ he has given the country in combating COVID-19”, Buhari’s spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina, stated.

Recall that some state governors had lifted the lockdown in their domains, allowing for religious activities to take place in mosques and churches.

They had also called back civil servants to work and are said to be preparing to reopen schools.

Thank you

Truth is there exists Covid-19 but not as Nigeria is making it seem. If Covid-19 was as it is shown, sb at Aso Rock should be positive by now.

Governors like Wike, Sanwo Olu, El rufai should be the ones telling Buhari this. Buhari don't even know what's Covid-19. He only learnt that word from Adesina.

ok

It's not a joke.... rather, Buhari is the joke!!



Address the nation.... Get proper briefings and be involved and be at the frontline to guide the people....


We are playing with it because the president is less concerned about it..



Nigeria, with all it's knowledge can't even contribute to the world's crisis..... We have Senegal build testing strips and Madagascar having herbal tonics and we only repaired spoilt ventilators.....


No motivation....

They know already. Those saying covid-19 is a scam in Nigeria should know this; the test kit sometimes perceives malaria as covid-19 even in China. The kit isn't perfect. Now considering the fact that malaria is rampant in Nigeria you should know that we are going to be more prone to those errors than the west. That a few malaria patients falsely tested positive to covid-19 doesn't make it a scam.

What has killed his chief of staff, and the de fecto president

He didn't step out to see how people are not practising any social distancing whatsoever. If covid is in Nigeria (I know it is), them millions would have been infected and not the paltry 6000 been recorded...

But the way your government has handled it is a joke.

What will we not hear

So Nigeria is a small country....

Buhari made the COVID-19 a joke in Nigeria.
He should talk to himself.

Ok...go and wear ur mask and stop talking

Buhari should not provoke us Oooo...

What was he looking when the first case was discovered?

Why didn't he close border (Airports) the same way some intelligent president has done?

Why didn't he through his agencies called 'presidency' put some measurement in place before the virus spread to African countries? Or were they not thinking?

Is President telling us that he doesn't know that his citizens are all over the world?

Sincerely he brought this evil upon us just because he is not a proactive person.

He should just keep it mute there....
