Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) as the leader of its COVID-19 response.
The appointment was made Thursday at the Extraordinary ECOWAS Summit on COVID-19 which was held via teleconferencing under the Chairmanship of Mahamadou Issoufou, President of the Republic of Niger.
Fani-Kayode opposed the appointment, saying that the President was not fit for the job as he can barely manage himself, talk more of 400 million people.
He wrote on his verified Twitter page;
”The greatest mistake that the ECOWAS leaders have made is to appoint @MBuhari as the leader of the fight against Covid 19. This is a cataclysmic error which they will deeply regret”.
”He can barely manage himself & now you ask him to manage a sub-region of 400 million people” he continued.
