NCDC should please stop harassing us with all these fake figures of infected and death people. We are not going to shut down Schools and economy of this Country.

All these figures of infection and death you are showing is false and to justify your pay and daily allowances as we are not going to be bothered by them.

Kogi State governor had being able to expose your fake figures and is the only state that had the courage to disagree with you (NCDC) over your false and fake claims.

Buhari can continue to give you Billions of naira no issues and NAFDAC also may refuse to look for herbal solutions despite several research results submitted to them as you are collaborators in this game of crude attitude of taking money from the confused government of Buhari on several issues affecting this Country.

Our daily prayer is that God should divide this Country as soon as possible QED.
