On Sunday evening, a twenty three second video surfaced on the internet showing President Buhari speaking on the outbreak of the disease in the country. This came after critics and the Nigerian Senate called on the president to address Nigerians on what his administration is doing to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Bashir Ahmed, the president’s media aide, also reposted the version of the clip which appeared to have been edited.

“We are working with the Federal Ministry of Health on protecting our citizens from #COVID-19. As a government, this is now a key priority for us,” the president is heard saying in the video clip which showed he was addressing an audience.

“I therefore enjoin you to ensure that adequate medical provisions and other welfare requirements are afforded,” he said before the clip abruptly ended.

Nwodosis:
We should be happy that Covik- one nine virus has brought his overseas traveling to a stop!

We are working with the Federal Ministry of Health on protecting our citizens from #COVID-19. As a government, this is now a key priority for us,” the president is heard saying in the video clip which showed he was addressing an audience.

“I therefore enjoin you to ensure that adequate medical provisions and other welfare requirements are afforded,” he said before the clip abruptly ended.

To prevent the spread of cases imported into Nigeria, the President has already ordered the restrictions of travel from 13 countries, each with more than 1,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19. Government has also suspended visas issued to nationals of these countries. The restriction will take effect from March 21 and will remain until further notice. While Nigeria delights in welcoming the world, the safety and protection of our citizens and land must take priority.

The various agencies of government including Media owned by the government have embarked on vigorous campaigns promoting hygiene measures. There are, currently, very stringent regimes of checks at the points of air and sea entry into the country. The effort Nigeria is making as is well known, has already received the commendation of the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The Presidency wishes to assure Nigerians that government is on top of the situation. There is no cause for panic. So far measures put in place are working efficiently. What this country is doing has been recommended as a template.


The President instructed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to reduce the pump price of fuel. The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a crash in the global price of crude oil, and the President decided that every Nigerian should benefit from this.

God bless you my President.

At last you have silenced your enemies and wailers.
Someone that doesn't like you must always look for fault in whatever you do. Dont be deterred please.
Carry on Baba.

EgunMogaji2:

Absolutely.
I don’t even know why he gave the speech.
He should continue to step out of the way and let the ministers of various departments do their jobs.
Long live the Republic of Nigeria.
Long live the General.

It baffles me how young people from the southern part of the country don't have respect for elders or any constituted authority. Does that mean you don't respect your parents as well? You insulted president Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan and now Buhari. This is a president for God's sake. You are probably using the tecno phone your mother bought for you to insult the president. Do you know what it means to emerge the president of Nigeria? You can disagree with his policies, that's perfectly ok but don't insult him as a person

fk002:

God bless our darling president just know that if you only have one like then I am the one that gave you that like. I will always give you my likes whenever I see your comment because of the love you have for President Muhammadu Buhar and the country at large.

May God be with you wherever you are. You are a patriot.
