The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has
counseled the All Progressives Congress (APC) not
to play politics with the Coronavirus (Covid-19) but
join other well meaning Nigerians in seeking
solution for the scourge.
The party gave the advice in a statement issued by its
National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, on
Wednesday in Abuja.
According to Ologbondiyan , it is on record that the APC was
yet to offer any meaningful suggest on ways to address the
raging pandemic.
“Nigerians will recall that the PDP had on several occasions
advised the Federal Government on effective pre-emptive
measures as well as the need for concerted efforts and
safeguards in the fight against Covid-19.
“The PDP had been on the forefront in canvassing for
stringent steps at our international ports and borderlines,
consequent upon which President Muhammadu Buhari had
approved international travel ban from 13 countries,” he said.
Ologbondiyan recalled that the PDP presidential candidate in
2019 general election, Atiku Abubakar, on Tuesday advised
the President to reduce the pump price of fuel and suspend
stamp duties on all accounts as palliative measures against
Covid-19, which was on Wednesday implemented.
He said that the PDP would not be distracted in its
commitment to the wellbeing and safety of Nigerians.

Brazilian legend Ronaldinho has been linked to a possible money laundering scheme – though investigators are unsure over how much he knew of what was happening. The 39-year-old is currently in prison in Paraguay with his brother Roberto for allegedly trying to enter the country using fake passports. World Cup winner Ronaldinho – who was tested for coronavirus while in jail – has been warned he could be held behind bars for six months for using dodgy documents. And now according to Mundo Deportivo, the 2005 Ballon d’Or winner is being investigated over whether he is part of a money-laundering plot. They state that the ex-Barcelona forward and his brother were given the passports by a businesswoman called Dalia Lopez, who has links to the Angel Brotherhood Foundation. It has been stated that Lopez – who is claimed to also have links with Brazilian and Paraguayan politicians – wanted the former footballer to participate in a charity event. The charitable foundation is now currently suspended, with Paraguay’s anti-corruption minister Rene Fernandez ordering an investigation into its dealings.
