Press Release
30/03/20


Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, on Monday, described President Muhammadu Buhari’s pre-recorded broadcast to the nation on Sunday evening as a monumental embarrassment to Nigerians.

Frank in a statement in Abuja, said that Nigerians were disappointed in Buhari’s speech because it fell shamefully short of a “presidential crisis broadcast” compared to what world leaders are offering to their citizens at this time.

He said that Nigerians would have forgiven the President if he had stuck to his decision not to speak to Nigerians on efforts being done to contain the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country, instead of being “wide in generalities and short on specifics.”

Frank said: “The broadcast was worse than COVID-19 because it failed to outline a specific roadmap on how Nigeria can win this invisible war.

“Any measure from the Federal Government that does not advance Nigeria’s response to the COVID-19 will ultimately hurt Nigerians.

“The President has not only lost precious response time, he is yet losing time while the rate of infection is steadily growing in the country.

“Nigerians were highly disappointed that instead of a live broadcast - with the media given the opportunity to seek clarifications for the benefit of Nigerians - the President opted for a pre-recorded and stilted message.

“He only played back to Nigerians what most experts have recommended and which many state governments have already started implementing.

“While Ghana with about 28 million population is attacking the pandemic with $100 million, Nigeria with over 200 million people is approaching the virus with a paltry N15 billion which translates to roughly $40 million going by the prevailing exchange rate. Are we being serious and responsive here?”

He commended the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, for appealing to Chief Executives of commercial banks to support the Federal Government’s fight against the pandemic.

He however called on individuals and corporate bodies that have pledged financial assistance to contain the virus in the country not to handover such funds to the administration if they don’t want their hard earned resources looted.

“They should rather partner with individual state governments to ensure that the funds are prudently spent like the example that GTBank has done in partnership with the Lagos State Government by erecting a 100-bed hospital for the isolation and treatment of confirmed cases,” he said.

According to the Bayelsa-born political activist, “Buhari only told Nigerians what they already knew - things many state governments have already implemented. Yet, all palliatives promised by the President will be delivered in ‘coming weeks.’

“The President failed to tell Nigerians about the testing capacity of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) that is leading the charge against this deadly virus in the country.

“How many people can the NCDC test per day and what medical exigences are needed to successful treat confirmed cases and ensure that they resume their normal lives?

“How many people are going to benefit from
the conditional cash transfer. How many IDPs will benefit from the two months food rations being planned by Buhari in ‘the coming weeks?’

“Nigerians are aware that the school feeding programme of the Federal Government has performed wonderfully in theory. How does the President want to feed children that are not in school?

“Buhari restricted movement in Lagos, Ogun and the FCT for two weeks, however, he failed to say when most civil servants especially in the FCT that have not been paid will receive their salaries.

“How are these categories of workers expected to cope with the lockdown without a Kobo in their pockets?

“All over the world, no government has restricted media coverage of the ongoing pandemic, but Buhari said those in Abuja and Lagos can only move if they can prove they cannot work from home!

“Do media houses operate newsrooms or broadcast stations from the homes of their respective employees?

“I think Nigerians deserve something better from their President in the the face of this global scourge.”

He saluted Nigerians for their resilience in this trying moment and prayed for quick recovery for those undergoing treatment as a result of the virus.

He also urged Nigerians to intensify prayers for the pandemic to cease in the country.

But he made a point. The speech was all about coming to prove to Nigerians that he is alive than bringing direct and immediate solutions to ameliorate the sufferings.

Listen to the speeches of other world leaders and compare and see what frank is talking about.

This is the biggest problem Nigerians have been having.

Politicians will come out during campaigns and say he will create jobs. The people believe and shout with joy. That is not a promise. If you say you will create a job, tell the com man man how you will achieve that....

You will raise IGR, how?

You will solve this and that problems, How the hell will you do it differently from what others have been doing.

Other world citizens call their leaders out, which make their leaders to sit up, but when you call politicians out here, you lots attack such person, like you are attacking Timi now.

People who always call the Nigeria politicians are rich and well to do. But poor nigerians who suffers most defend and hate people who call the leaders out.

wetin dey worry all this stupid people sef, PDP are just too irritating, Jonathan succeeded in destroying PDP by sending away their sensible founding fathers, replacing them with foolish drunkards like himself

In US Democrats Independents and Republican have both shunned petty politics to work out plans for their economic recovery, disaster management and relief plan

if PDP are sensible, since they felt Buhari's speech and plans he itemized are not enough or they felt he doesn't have the power to place curfew on Lagos and Ogun, then they should tell Nigerians what other plans they want him to do

.

It is not about PDP. You guys aren't considering the logistic of things. You want the movement of food ? How does vegetables and onions reach a market in Isolo after it has been dropped at Mile 12 when commercial buses and all movement are banned? Or the mama that goes to buy in Bulk in such markets would disappear and just appear at the Mile 12 market?

How would a supermarket with employees living in Sango get to VI where their work places are?

The petrol station workers would walk to the office or when last did you see a petrol station with Staff bus?

How many Nigerians can afford to even stock up food for a week? even if you stock up food where is the electricity to freeze such foods and stables like tomatoes that get rotten within days?

No one is addressing the main issues of testing and isolation of patients as usual we want to use force and fire brigade methods to kill a virus. There numerous statements on social media about how people have not been tested or NCDC turning them back, is it the NCDC that would drive to your house to come test you when you are restricted at home down with all the symptoms of Corona?

Remember it is not a 3day lockdown. This is 14 days.. 2 weeks without movement.
