Vaccine Procurement: Stop Advertising Your Ignorance Over What You Don't Understand - APC Slams Peter Obi

The attention of APC Mandate Defenders has been drawn to the uninformed remarks made by the former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi concerning the Federal Government's plan to procure vaccines for distribution across the country.

The group asserted that Mr. Obi has formed the habit of making himself a cheap hero through peddling of falsehoods, outright misinformation and blame game even when he is alleged to have some skeletons in his cupboards.

In a statement released to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday by the group's national publicity secretary, Mr. Ifeanyi Emeka, the group said that Mr. Obi is not the right person to advise the Federal Governemnt over what to do concerning vaccine procurements and distribution because as Governor for eight years, he contributed to the sorrowful state of the primary healthcare centres in Anambra State as a result of his unconstitutional refusal to conduct Local Government Elections throughout his tenure.

"Saying, if Mr. Obi had conducted local government elections and allowed elected council chairmen to use their Federal Allocations for developments, all the primary healthcare centres in the 21 Local Government Areas of his state which are in the 'residual list' of the Constitution and whose workers have the immediate responsibility of distributing vaccines to the people at the grassroots level; the cost of vaccine procurements and distribution would have been reduced to the bearest minimum."

But because Mr. Obi and others in his category failed to do the needful, the task of vaccine procurement, distribution and development of critical infrastructures at the local government levels now falls on the neck of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency which is under the control of the Federal Government.

So, the Federal Government is not only fighting to procure vaccines and inoculate the population, but it is also fighting to procure cold chains, train personnel and other things that falls under the purview of states and local governments in the country.

Besides, vaccine procurement is not really the issue, but distribution and storage as well as building capacity are the things that matters.

For Instance, apart from Pfizer vaccines which requires altra-modern cold chains of minus 70-80 degree Celsius which is even colder than the winter, the Federal Government will still use some part of the estimated N400 billion for the procurement and deployment of cold chains to about 8,812 Wards in the 774 Local Government Areas across the country where the vaccines would be stored before distribution. This is because only few of the over 10, 000 Primary Health Care Centers in the country have functional cold chains and other facilities.

So, next time, before Mr. Obi goes to any national television to advertise his ignorance on any government plan in his characteristic way of playing to the gallery and seeking cheap popularity among unsuspecting members of the public, he should endevour to consider many factors which his inability to correct some of them when he was in office contributed to the sorrowful state of the primary healthcare centres across the country.

Mr. Ifeanyi Emeka,
National Publicity Secretary,

Cold chain what?
Who are they deceiving?
Who is wholing who?
As if today mark the beginning of cold chain in this country
In all the local government am very sure there are more than three working cold chain system
How can u tell us that u will spend such amount of residual in cold chain system provider
If una won lie may una lie smartly and not foolishly....

Your ignorance makes you out as the actual fool oga.

A cold chain system has three main components, each of which must combine to ensure safe vaccine transport and storage:

1) transport and storage equipment.
2) trained personnel.
3) efficient management procedures.

The cold chain system is the process by which vaccines and medicines are kept within a specific temperature range from the moment of manufacture to the point they are administered.

How can you say Local governments have more than 3 cold chain systems are you high?

You can clearly see that cold chains have only 3 systems so how did you arrive at more than 3?

Also you can clearly see that this system begins FROM THE POINT OF MANUFACTURE. Does Nigeria manufacture these vaccines?

Do you not realize that once a country places an order, they commence the manufacturing for you and this also means that you bear the cost of the everything it entails from manufacturing to transportation to storage and training.

Go and sit down

Pauljeek56:
but I think the government said the money is meant for procurement and training workers is not part of the money

No the said the money is budgetted for procurement.. It when you go thorough u will begin to see the components.. Just like saying budget for aso rock clinic or state house.. People forget employees salaries are also inside

Igbochief001:

It's vaccine is vaccine , dies china have cheaper vaccine ...why are u running from pillar to post

Can u get a Chinese vaccine for $2 ...? If yes the shut up

plaindealer:






Sinovac in China is the most expensive at $60.

Tell ignorant peter obi not to go to China for cheep vaccine because Chinese Vaccine is the most expensive, that foolish and lying man obviously did not do his research before spewing his usual dumb rubbish.

Obviously, you do not know how to read and comprehend, I produced facts with credible link, it clearly stated the cost of all the available vaccine all over the world, the cost is $60 for Chinese Sinovac vaccine in China so instead of your ignorant and incoherent rants, why not just show us proof of your Chinese $2 vaccine.?

Illiterate.

Seems some of them are permanently high on drugs, apart from being ignorant and illiterate.

Reading their ignorant and embarrassing is really depressing.

Coronabirus:
Wonderful!
How do u expect them to just start injecting people without training when it's obvious the disease is new and the medication is also different. You mean the dose amount, the position to give the injection, how to take care of the possible allergy on some people after receiving the injection, how to store the vaccines, how to handle the vaccine all don't need training?

Honestly, govt need to make science courses necessary atleast even at Secondary School level.

Is there a special way covid vaccination is administered that is different from all other vaccinations as previously practiced by healthcare practitioners?

Coronabirus:
Mr. Obi as a former governor with knowledge of administration made a fatal mistake by being so ignorant with poor knowledge of the whole process just to get public applaud. Though Nigerian govt is known for over bloating of contract but the process involved in the procurement, distribution, capacity building training, storage of the vaccine and expenses of the process is much more than the N150b Obi claimed can do.

But obi was talking about procurement hence his 150b figure. When d federal govt said it will procure for 400b, did it mention that figure included cost of distribution and storage or is this defence and after thought?

Igbochief001:

Peter obi is an economist and a successful business man ... vaccine is a goods and he is an expert in the field


So u don't even know how much they want to buy the vaccine ? LMAO

lol...


That ignorant lying fool is an expert in infectious diseases, he's also a medical doctor, he's also on the ground fighting Covid with Covid data, immense vaccine knowledge from efficacy to cost, storage, distribution, logistic, delivery and vaccination.

You people are painfully ridiculous and comedic.

tricksters:
So with that thorough explanation you do not see how the guy finished the foolish Peter Obi that looted Anambra's wealth to build a company for his family ?! E b like say craz de your head. This lying bastard called Peter Obi deserve to be stoned to death he alone as stolen more Tinubu Atiku Abacha n co. He will now. Omw n be disguising like a saint.

Explain to us what you mean by thorough explanation, apc using jargon to confuse their zombies. Vaccine procurement, the fg said is 400b it only include handling till it's handed over to health ministry distribution and vaccination wit the preservation using cold Chambers fall under the purview of ministry of health, ask mdas that fall under this blankets, politicians in apc are the worst of their kind trying to confuse us with highfalutin words won't cut it, as for me defender, defend kogi state gov who pays teachers six thousand and something naira.

Pfizer-BioNTech Vaccine per 2 doses = $40 X 200 Million people in Nigeria = $8 Billion

Moderna Vaccine per 2 doses = $32 X 200 million people in Nigeria = $12 Billion

https://www.biospace.com/article/comparing-covid-19-vaccines-pfizer-biontech-moderna-astrazeneca-oxford-j-and-j-russia-s-sputnik-v/

Even if he was just procurement, based on the cost of available vaccine on the market all over the world, he can not procure vaccine for N150 billion.

So, where exactly is he getting his own N150 billion vaccine from? China? I hope not because it's $60 in China, the moist expensive in the world.

This is the problem with you people, you are arguing and attacking other people instead of asking where hi obtained his own pricing from, who he talked to, how he arrived at N150 billion, what kind of vaccine and who produced the vaccine.

You people are always quick to demand accountability from other people, but when it comes to your own people, you care less about accountability, you don't want to ask questions, you don't want facts, you just buy and swallow whatever they throw at you.


Very pathetic.

True...it's very pathetic. Do u no why? because u didnt take your time to find out what obi said and where he got his figures from. D man talked about india and that in India, it's 2.74 dollars. Again, u are using 200m as your estimate whereas obi was using d 70% of nigerias population as given by Dr. Ehanire as his estimate. So it is indeed very pathetic.

Pls who is d "you people" and who are d "your own people" u are referring to?

Can u produce d "attack and argument" u said I attacked and argued?

Can u also explain what this means:

"...you care less about accountability, you don't want to ask questions, you don't want facts, you just buy and swallow whatever they throw at you."

I have absolutely no idea what u are talking about or who u are referring to.

This man is the reason why PDP failed in 2019 , He is very tribal

I read everything peter obi said and there is nothing tribal there.
What is tribal about getting vaccines for cheaper?
Did he mention tribe or tongue?

You are the bigot here. An irredeemable bigot.

Peter obi did not fail in 2019. He helped atiku to clear the southern Nigeria.
They defeated your VP in his polling unit.

They lost in the core north, among almajiris and bigots like you.

Speaking about the price of Covishield, Adar Poonawalla, CEO of Serum Institute, said his firm is providing the first 100 million doses of the vaccine at a "special price" of Rs 200 per dose (excluding taxes) to the government considering its request.

https://www.indiatoday.in/coronavirus-outbreak/vaccine-updates/story/here-is-what-one-dose-of-various-covid-19-vaccines-will-cost-in-india-1758527-2021-01-13

The approved Covid Vaccine in India is Covishield and it's $2.74 per dose and you need 2 doses per vacination.

$2.74 x 2 = 5.48.

5.48 x 150 million Nigerians = $822 million

$822 million = N313,346,400,000.0 (N313 Billion)

So, peter obi while foolishly trying to sound sensible and intelligent and also while trying to play medical doctor and vaccine expert, he left out the most basic and elementary knowledge about Covid vaccination 2 dose regimen, meaning for each vaccination, we need 2 doses, meaning $2.74 x 2, meaning his N150 billion should have been multiplied by 2.

The cost for Indian vaccine to vaccinate 150 million Nigerians is $313 Billion, almost the same FG's official figure without associated cost of transportation, storage, training, tens of millions of vaccination kits.

Peter Obi was dumb and extremely ignorant and irresponsible, he should have either do some research per the vaccine doss regimen apply basic arithmetic per the total cost per vaccination.

...and of course, people like you don't ask question, you just swallow and follow like mumu

Igbochief001:
This is how u Know political response ....very very vogue not specific

I expected to see how much government is actually buying the vaccine ....

Obi gave analysis with numbers n facts yet u are here attacking his person

What happened in 2015 will repeat itself. Since majority of the people cannot listen to these politicians and put points together to decipher the truth.

Nigerians are so gullible. We don't keep to learning and easily forget.

How much for vaccine? How much for logistics?
What training does a professional who has been into vaccines to go through to administer vaccines if not noting specifics. Nawahoo.

Any man who does not know the source of his problem will spend long time to come out of it.

I don't think it's an error. Every cost is factored in the per-vaccine price. I know he is only stating the obvious in all of our procurement and contractual processes. You may be even surprise that the actual cost could be even less. I expected those countering his claims to present facts on the vaccine procurement but only attacked what he did years ago that is at variant with the matter beforehand.

You conveniently didn't ask Peter Obi to produce facts regarding his claim, you just reasoned with him and refused to see beyond his ignorant claim.

We or I specifically already produced facts, facts that you failed to ask peter obi tp produce before swallowing his ignorant lies, I've posted facts regarding vaccine prices from all over the world.

In India, the approved Covid Vaccine is Covishiled developed by UK's Oxford University and AstraZeneca.

The cost is $2.74 per dose.

....but sadly for ignorant peter obi who is not a medical doctor, not infectious disease or vaccination expert forgot the most basic thing about vaccination 2 dose regimen and the fact that India's $2.74 vaccine calls for 2 doses, meaning $2.74 X 2.

So, peter obi should have multiplied his figure by 2 to arrive at N313 Billion to vaccinate 170 Million Nigerians, almost the same FG N400 Billion figure.

The fact that Peter Obi goofed with his ignorant statements doesn't mean you have to swallow and goof like him.

“Now I hear that we are looking for N400bn, well I am at loss, our budget this year for health is N547bn. I don’t know if they are going to take this vaccine procurement from it, because if they do, we are left with N147bn.

To start with, the cost is not coming from any statutory budget or the Health Ministry's budget because it's not part of the budgetary provision, this is common sense.

It's going to be funded via FG to NASS appropriation request, this is how it's done, it's public Administration 101

This is so comedic and laughable especially the fact that this man tried to govern Nigeria.

This man is a learner.

All I can deduce from your write-up is a guy who is deeply hurt and who is dealing with a lot of emotional issues. Most times, emotions beclouds one's sense of judgement. I don't no what Peter obi did to u, but I think u should try and deal with it and not let d pains of your past experiences consume u. If u can't handle it urself, why don't u seek professional help or talk to your pastor or someone u can trust. U seem to spilling ur emotions more than u are making sense.

When Dr. Ehanire came up with his 400b naira estimate, it was for a vaccine and not 2 vaccines. Here's an excerpt from a news report:

"Dr. Ehanire added that the N400 billion would be able to vaccinate 70% of Nigeria’s population at $8 per vaccine".

And foolish and ignorant peter obi goofed and made his own ignorant claim without verification or clarification from the ministry of health before jumping into his own ignorant conclusion that it was for single dose when the whole world and even a day old baby is not oblivious or clueless that covid vaccines are 2 doses per vaccination.

You don't need the FG to tell you that vaccines comes in 2 doses, the man is stupid and ignorant and it's very lame and redundant to excuse his ignorance with what the FG say or didn't say.

Please, come up with a sane and intelligent defense.

lexy2014:


"Dr. Ehanire added that the N400 billion would be able to vaccinate 70% of Nigeria’s population at $8 per vaccine".

Countries all over the world base their Vaccine approval and deployment on efficacy and effectiveness, not necessarily on money.

India's Covishield is on 70% effective unlike other vaccines with 90%+ effectiveness.

Moneywise pound foolish.

Do d maths. Seems u are good at it. Also, 70% of 200m is 140m not 150m.

Yes, I did the math again for 140 million Nigerians, it's N282,088 Billion, still almost double ignorant peter obi's ignorant figures.

You can do better instead of running from pillar to post with flawed reasonings and argument.

One of the best according to demented fools like your self. Pls name of road constructed by Peter Obi during his 8 deplorable yrs that is still Motor able today.
