The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the deficiencies in Nigeria’s leadership, Centre for Truth and Liberty (CTL) told Confiance News in a statement on Friday.

It also frowned at the inefficiency of the health sector despite huge funds allocated to it for the improvement of the sector.

It said, ” It reeks of careless advertorial of culture of impunity that has become a virtue accustomed with public office for the Secretary to the Government of the Federation; Mr. Boss Mustapha to have public indulged in denial to the effect that he never knew Nigerian health sector was in appalling state until he was saddled with responsibility of coordinating the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19.

“Mr. Boss Mustapha’s admission of failure; albeit pretentiously ought to have been followed up with a letter of resignation considering his position in a government under which billions of naira was earmarked annually ostensibly for equipping the presidential clinic in Aso Rock and for which nothing concrete had been put in place to meet requirements for emergency response to Covid-19.”

According the statement, CTL also accused the Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari of being indifferent to the plight of Nigerians particularly those assaulted and killed by security operatives.

“It is unfortunate that Mr. President rather than condemn this act chose to pretend he was not aware of unwarranted ordeals Nigerians; including those on legitimate assignment amongst who were journalists experienced in the hands of over zealous security agents.

“CTL is concerned that President Buhari as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces in a democratic setting has not, even prior to the present scenario, demonstrated enough concern by consciously dissuading security agencies from molesting innocent Nigerians. CTL condemns unprovoked attacks on Nigerians by security agents who are obliged under the law to adopt civilised methods in apprehending violators of civil restrictions,” it noted.

Confiance News further gathered that the situation has prompted CTL to make a clarion call to platforms of civil society genuinely committed to the cause of responsive governance to connect their efforts and voices to the grassroots for the purposes of mobilising ahead for the enthronement of responsible leadership across board capable of bequeathing genuine democratic governance in our dear country.
