Senator Shehu Sani says President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation Boss Mustapha do not need to receive COVID-19 vaccine on live telecast.
Tweeting on Friday, Sani said Nigeria’s leaders should only ensure they are vaccinated with the same brand as would be given to ordinary citizens.
“No need to Vaccinate d VIPs on live TV.Just do the right thing, when you vaccinate the leaders with Pfizer, make sure the people are also vaccinated with Pfizer,” the former Kaduna lawmaker wrote.
“When you vaccinate the People with Russian or Chinese vaccine, make sure the leaders are also vaccinated with same brand.”
Nigeria is expecting the US-manufactured Pfizer-BioNtech COVID-19 vaccine at the end of January.
The government is also in talks with Russian and Chinese authorities on the possibilities of getting COVID-19 vaccines manufactured in the respective countries.
