COVID-19: When men of power eat the humble pie vanguardnews

The Latin phrase, annus horribilis , which according to Wikipedia, the free online encyclopaedia, was used in 1891 in an Anglican Church publication to describe 1870, the year in which the Catholic Church defined the dogma of papal infallibility, was brought to modern prominence by the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.

It is a year that has tried souls of men like no other in recent memory. It is the year of coronavirus that has become a global pandemic. In Britain, Queen Elizabeth’s first son, Prince Charles, British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, have all tested positive. Last Friday, the chief medical officer, Prof Chris Whitty, said he was self-isolating at home after experiencing symptoms compatible with Covid-19. Till date, Britain has 25,150 confirmed cases and 1,801 deaths.

But Kyari, the wily chief of staff, sorely misses the point if he thinks that the issue at stake is who picks the bill because that is beside the point. Rather than the unsolicited preachment, Kyari and his ilk should be ashamed that there is no single medical facility in Abuja that can handle his case despite the billions of Naira voted every year for Aso Rock clinic.

“Few weeks ago, I was sick … they advised me to take the first flight out to London but I refused to go. I said I must be treated in Nigeria because there is a budget for an assigned clinic to take care of us. If the budget is N100 million, we need to know how the budget is spent.
