The Senate has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to address Nigerians on the coronavirus in the country.

It also urged the federal government to shut down all international airports except Lagos and Abuja airports for easier monitoring of the disease.

The lawmakers asked the president to suspend the issuance of visa on arrival at the borders so as to check the spread of the pandemic.

This calls followed a point of order raised by Danjuma Goje (APC, Gombe) during plenary on Wednesday.

It comes amidst backlash on the president for failing to address the nation like some presidents of other countries have done.

The bag of bones fears addressing Nigerians more than Corona Virus itself.

We see other Presidents address their countries every day and take questions, but not this empty headed dullard.

I'm sure it took lots of courage for the Senate to come to beg Buhari to talk to Nigerians.

May be the old man is still rehearsing how to pronounce Coronavirus .. Who knows

Of what relevance is any speech by the President?

The only people we need to here from for now are the medical professionals in charge.

Instead of lamenting over the president, you your part, practice good hygiene and follow NCDC GUIDELINES.

Nigeria isn't as half developed as the US is, with some of the best medical and health workers and state of the art Health facilities yet President Trump addressed the nation on the issue.
While it's true that everyone has to practice good hygiene and follow NCDC guidelines, do you know how reassuring the address of the president can be in times like this?

I can understand you though, perhaps you are all too well aware he has nothing to say, doesn't even understand what the issue is.

Back to sender.

The fact that you are unfortunate and wish for other people to be unfortunate doesn't mean other people are unfortunate..

We should stop decieving ourselves that we have a President in Buhari because we don't !!!!!!! Buhari doesn't give the quarter media brief all his predecessors gave , you can count the miserable number of official working visits he has made to states to check for himself how they are doing , even in the wake of the Gas Explosion in Lagos over the weekend he didn't even seem it visit to pay Lagos a commiseration/ evaluation visit but had time to go Argungu to watch a Northern fishing festival .. anyone still expecting anything useful from Buhari is mad
