COVID-19 IN NIGERIA: WE SAY NO TO CHINA INTERVENTION

Can the world ever trust China again? Would Nigeria romance with the prime suspect of the current global crisis (COVID-19)? How can we? In 2012 China handed over a fully funded and built headquarters building in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to the African Union (AU). A great gesture of friendship and solidarity, perhaps. But not long after, it was alleged to have been bugged, leaking vital, confidential information of the Union to China in faraway Shanghai! True or false, the Union had to change its computer servers to check the alleged mischief. But issues of health are different. Misfiring means losing a life, or even lives. On a national scale, that can amount to thousands. Painful loss. Avoidable loss. The authorities must tread with caution here. Face masks, test kits, ventilators, vaccine and doctors - all from or of China. Hmmmm, caution we must exercise. Until now we have been using our indigenous doctors, and they have been doing well. WHY CHANGE THE WINNING TEAM? Please let us DISCARD this idea of Chinese intervention. WE DON'T NEED IT. Let us stay safe Stay indigenous. Stay Nigerian We shall overcome

Adamawa Governor, Murtala Nyako Impeached

Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, was  impeached Tuesday, July 15, after the State House of Assembly concluded its deliberations on the report of the panel set to probe allegations of financial misconducts leveled against him.
The committee submitted its report to the House Monday, July 14 amidst high security presence at the premises of the State’s Assembly.
It will be recalled that the State Deputy Governor, Bala Ngilari, resigned from office to avoid being impeached along with his boss.

Mr. Ngilari’s resignation letter was read at the plenary by the speaker of the Assembly, Umaru Fintiri, after which the lawmakers approved it.

Nyako, Ngilari had failed to appear before the panel constituted to investigate the allegations against them following an earlier notice served the executives by the Assembly members.
