Give The ₦400bn Needed For COVID-19 Vaccine To Poor Nigerians – Pastor Giwa Advises FG

President Muhammadu Buhari has been called on by the Senior Pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming Of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa to give the proposed ₦400 billion meant for the importation of COVID-19 vaccines to poor Nigerians.

The cleric stated this while reacting to the statement of the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire on money needed to procure COVID-19 vaccine.

Ehanire while appearing before the Senate with the Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, noted that sum of  ₦400 billion is needed to procure COVID-19 vaccines for Nigerians.

He further stated that the vaccine would cost each Nigerian eight US dollars.

Pastor Giwa charged the Buhari administration to tackle hunger among Nigerians instead of spending such a huge amount of money on vaccines.

He said: “They claim that some COVID-19 patients are being discharged from different isolation centres in the country.”

“What drugs do they use for them and they can no longer use? It is indeed morally wrong to spend ₦400 billion on vaccines while millions of Nigerians go to bed hungry.”

“The only coronavirus disease in Nigeria now is hunger, and president Buhari must ensure that he proffers a lasting solution to it.”
