President Muhammadu Buhari has sent a get well message to his South African counterpart, Mr Cyril Ramaphosa, who tested positive for COVID-19.
In a statement on Monday, President Buhari said:
“My heart and prayers are with Mr Ramaphosa of South Africa at this difficult moment of health challenge, and I pray for his speedy and full recovery.
“Mr Ramaphosa is a friend of Nigeria and an important partner in our joint continental efforts to tackle Africa’s social, economic and political difficulties.
“The coronavirus pandemic is a reality and no respecter of persons.
”
President Buhari particularly reminded Nigerians; “To disregard the allegation that the pandemic is a foreign creation to depopulate Africa and boost the financial interests of western pharmaceutical companies through vaccine production.
”
He warned that; “Lack of attention to medical advice and apathy are damaging to the government’s efforts to contain the spread of this deadly viral disease.
”
The President, therefore, advised Nigerians to come out fully and get vaccinated.
