BIAFRA GROUP TO BUHARI: Allow Nigerians go about their businesses, there’s cure for COVID-19

Biafra Nations Youth League, BNYL, has appealed to the Federal Government of Nigeria led by President Muhammadu Buhari to allow Nigerian’s go about their daily businesses because many are already dying of hunger.

The group’s appeal was contained in a statement signed and issued on Sunday by the Deputy Leader of BNYL, and head of operations, Biafra Broadcasting Service, BBS Media, Ebuta Takon Akor.

He said that there is no reason why every attention will be on COVID-19 which already has a cure as there are other illnesses that have killed dozens of other people in the country.

“I feel people are already dying of hunger, and some hospitals are no longer attending to other sick patients, even people are now afraid to go to hospital for treatment to avoid testing positive.

“It seems they want every State on lockdown to record cases of the virus.

”This madness should stop; they should relax the lockdown and allow everybody to go about their normal businesses,” Akor said.

He said that since Nigeria is treating the Coronavirus, there was no need to panic or lockdown the country.

“Nigeria is the only African country that is treating Coronavirus perfectly, although the President said it has no cure.

“But Nigerian hospitals have decided to prove him wrong by discharging COVID-19 patients.

“Governors that tested positive have recovered. Some recovered on their own. I heard a Governor saying he ate enough Amala while in Isolation.

“Since the cure is here, why suffer the masses?” he asked rhetorically.
