In a similar development, the Peoples Democratic Party has given the federal government a 48-hour ultimatum to declare the whereabouts of the Chinese medical team.
The lead opposition party made the demand in a statement released on Saturday, May 16, by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan.
According to the PDP, Ehanire’s statement has heightened apprehension that the Chinese team might have been brought in by a certain “cabal” for another purpose outside the general public good.
The party described as suspicious, creepy and weird that the health minister, who had assured that the Chinese were brought to render medical services and training and went personally to receive them at the airport, can no longer account for the team.
“Our party is worried that the APC-led federal government is being economical with the truth, with its officials playing politics with the lives of our citizens and health safety of our nation,” the PDP said.
