The member representing Ezza South/ Ikwo federal constituency
of Ebonyi State in the House of Representatives, Chief Chinedu Ogah,
has urged the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs to include Ebonyi State
and the entire South East in the palliative packages against the
coronavirus pandemic in the country.
The minister has been distributing relief materials including cash to
people of the North and South-West to cushion the effect of the
coronavirus on the people.
But Ogah who is the only APC federal lawmaker from Ebonyi State
wondered why nobody from the state had received any of the packages from
the federal government.
In a statement in Abakaliki, Ogah noted that the same problems the
people in the North and South West were facing as a result of the
coronavirus pandemic were being faced by Ebonyi people and wondered why
the people were not captured in the palliative.
“Coronavirus is in every part of the country; the north, west and
south. So, it is necessary for the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs to
include people of South East in the cash and other items she is sharing
to the people of the country as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. I
suggest that every other part of the country that was not captured in
the palliative measures including the South-East should be captured,”
Ogah said.
The lawmaker called on the governors in the country to use the period
of the coronavirus pandemic to make quality health care available and
accessible to the people.
“This is a period for the governors to address challenges in the
health sector by ensuring that the people access healthcare at their
door steps. There is no other time than now.
“Let me tell you, some diseases like Lassa fever, Hepatitis B and C
are even deadlier that this coronavirus that all attention are now
focusing on. It is important that people access healthcare easily to
prevent these diseases,” he said.
Ogah however, commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the steps he
has taken in curtailing the coronavirus pandemic in the country and
urged the people to rally round him to stop the virus from further
spreading to other parts of the country.
