PDP slams Buhari over importation of Madagascar cure

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has blasted president Muhammadu Buhari over the importation of the Madagascar Covid-19 cure.

In a statement made available by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, he said President should have approved the use of homegrown herbs in tackling the disease.

“Our party the PDP has always canvassed for homegrown approaches to the issue of Covid-19.

“We have demanded that the Presidential Taskforce on Covid-19 in conjunction with the NCDC should ensure that our medical doctors, Epidemiologists, those in the orthodox and unorthodox medicals are supported in seeking homegrown solutions, that has been the opposition of the PDP.

“It is rather strange to us that rather than them we are going outside our country to import herbs and medications which we have all around us here, it is very strange.

“We have herbs locally which can be used for the purpose of treating Covid-19 and we are now going ahead to import the same from Madagascar. This is strange and does not show leadership on the side of the government.”
