A former lawmaker who represented Kogi West Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Dino Melaye, has reacted to the arrival of a 15-man Chinese medical team in Nigeria.
The Nation reported that the doctors arrived in Nigeria on Wednesday to work in hand with local doctors in combating Coronavirus pandemic.
Before now, China sent some of its doctors to Italy and Spain where the deadly virus is on the rise. Meanwhile, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and residents doctors condemned such intervention.
But reacting, Melaye took to his Twitter account on Thursday, alleging that leadership irresponsibility was the reason the Nigerian government disregarded earlier cautions by Nigerians.
He said, ”It is Leadership irresponsibility for the FG to disregard the call by majority of Nigerians on the importation of Chinese doctors into Nigeria.
”It is gross disrespect for the NMA to be ignored with ignominy except the Chinese doctors are here to treat infected Aso rock patients.
”Oh God, give us leaders who fear you and are passionately in love with their people.”
