Former Senator representing Kogi-West senatorial zone, Senator Dino Melaye, has blamed himself and all Nigerian leaders, both past and present, as Coronavirus continues to spread across the country.
Mr Dino Melaye has expressed his displeasure over the inability of the government to feed poor Nigerians for two weeks of lockdown. The former law maker claimed that Nigeria sold crude oil for 64 years, but its leaders could not feed Nigerians for just two weeks of the lockdown.
“Everyone who held and is holding any political office in Nigeria whether elective or appointed including me have failed.
“We sold crude oil for 64 years, but we couldn’t feed our citizens for just two weeks of the coronavirus lockdown!! Well, the god of the poor will judge us all. It’s time to reboot,” he tweeted.
Until May 4, the federal government had imposed a lockdown on Lagos which is the epicentre of coronavirus in Nigeria, Ogun state and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja amid a spike of coronavirus pandemic.
Before relaxing the lockdown, vulnerable Nigerians were plunged into financial problems as economic activities were put on partial hold.
At the moment, Nigeria has recorded 2,802 coronavirus cases and 93 deaths, according to the NCDC.
