Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has commended President Muhammadu Buhari over his national broadcast on Sunday.

He described Buhari’s address as encouraging, responsible and inspiring.

He added that he was glad that Buhari used the words COVID-19 and coronavirus to describe the plague and not COVIKK 1-9.

In a post on his Twitter handle-@realFFK, the former minister wrote:

“I commend @MBuhari for an encouraging, responsible and inspiring national broadcast and for taking sensible and concrete measures to fight the coronavirus. This is the time to set our political differences aside, join hands and do our best to defend and protect our people.

“I am also glad that once again @MBuhari took my advice and used the words COVID-19 and CORONAVIRUS to describe the plague and NOT COVIKK 1-9. I commend him for doing so. By the grace of God we as a nation and a people shall get through this challenging time.
