The All Progressives Congress (APC) has lambasted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for blaming the federal government for the first case of coronavirus confirmed in Lagos state.
Recall that first case of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was on Friday confirmed by Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, in Lagos State.
The APC in a statement by its spokesman, Lanre Issa-Onilu, said it is irresponsible of any political party to play politics with an issue that bothers on the health and well-being of all Nigerians.
The statement read: “The feat of discovering the country’s first case within 24 hours and result of the test within 4 hours is a pointer to the capacity of this government to manage and deal with the outbreak.
“In managing outbreaks such as the coronavirus, transparent and effective communication is key and this government has demonstrated this in no uncertain way through delivery of up-to-date and timely information on developments, measures being taken and progress made.”
