No need to panic, we’re on top of situation – Buhari to Nigerians

Nigerians got a soothing message from their President on Thursday.

“Stay calm and not panic”, President Muhammadu Buhari told Nigerians, assuring that his administration was managing the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The President’s message was contained in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu.

In a veiled reference to calls from certain quarters that he should make a national broadcast on the pandemic, the President cautioned Nigerians against falling into the ploy to politicise the global crisis.

The statement highlighted the measures being taken to manage the situation in Nigeria. It also noted that the Nigeria’s strategy of campaign against the pandemic had become a template for other countries to adopt.
