“Are we Guinea pigs? Why did the Minister of Health tell us to stop asking questions about the Chinese?”
His comments came after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Saturday gave the Federal Government a 48-hour ultimatum to declare the whereabouts of the Chinese medical team.
The party in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the minister’s statement had heightened apprehensions in the public space that the Chinese team, whose identity and activities had been shrouded in secrecy, might have been brought in by a certain cabal for another purpose outside the general public good.
