Second Wave: PDP calls for dissolution of PTF on Covid-19

The People’s Democratic Party has hit hard at the Presidential taskforce for COVID-19 and is even calling for a dissolution of the team and its replacement with a convergence of experts in a special department under the purview of the national centre for disease control to professionally tackle the pandemic.

The main political opposition in the country says it is distressing that the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 has not demonstrated any capacity beyond mere announcement of figures of infected persons, deaths, recoveries, discharges and issues of local protocols rather than engaging in epidemiology, researches and production of equipment, drugs, therapeutics and other medical palliatives that can help stave off the impact of the global pandemic.

In a press statement signed by the party’s  Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbodinyan and obtained by TVC NEWS it alleges that the Buhari administration did not make any budgetary provision in the 2021 Appropriation for the acquisition of essential therapeutics, including vaccines, even in the face of the heightened anxieties over the second wave of the pandemic in the country.

The PDP disclosed that it is alarmed by the manifest lack of commitment and proactiveness by the Buhari administration to check the spate of the second wave of COVID-19 and the escalating deaths arising from the spread of the pandemic in the country.

The party has also accused the governing All Progressives Congress of using the pandemic as a corruption drainpipe and called out the minister of Humanitarian affairs and disaster management for carrying bundles of cash to the streets under the guise of palliative measures, but the PDP demands that the Federal Government should channel such resources directly to the respective state governments to cushion the possible effects of the pandemic on the people.
