When you talk about one being a total failure in government of Nigeria, look no more because the Ex-Minister, Ehanire Osagie is the beginning and end of failure.
Chief Osagie Patrick Eholor who is the Father of Nigeria Students and President of One Love Foundation, has slammed the Ex-Minister of Health for his poor performance while in office.
He said this in an exclusive interview with our correspondent today.
According to him, he is not a bias person who wants to protect the interest of one and expose others.
"When it comes to the two Ex Minister we have in the State, Clem Agba did better than the ex- Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire.
Chief Eholor further stated that Clem Agba's focus was on his home town that there was no visibility in Edo South who have the highest vote in the Election.
"While, the Ex- Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire has no results to show forth for his years of being in office of the Minister in Edo State" He said.
The Ex-Minister of Health was appointed in President Muhammadu Buhari's administration in November 2019. Prior to this period, he was a Senior Registrar Clinical Instructor at The University of Benin Teaching Hospital.
Speaking further, Chief Eholor said "somebody that was in office for over 3 years cannot boast of a single project he singlehandedly carried out.
He further added that a country like Nigeria with capable Medical practitioners were rated low in health indices
According to the Cable reports dated May 31, 2020 "ADC: Ehanire deceived Nigerians on mission of Chinese Medical Team"
The report read "The minister erred in three main areas. He lied delibrately or unwittingly, that the Federal Government was expecting a 15-member Chinese Medical Team, and even went ahead to say that they will assist the country in the fight against COVID-19"
He stated that this singular action did not only ridiculed the image of Nigeria in the world but also cause a catastrophe in areas affected by Covid-19.
Couple with this are other cases of misappropriation and mismanagement of funds allocated to the health sector especially during Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria. How these funds were used was not accounted to the public
"When other government officials were busy sharing palliatives to their States, there was none to his own state(Edo State). This he did to the extent that he didn't visit any hospitals" Eholor said.
In this kind of sensitive sector, corruption can cause serious harm to individuals and society especially the most vulnerable populated areas popularly known as the rural areas.
These funds could have been used to provide access to quality healthcare for Nigerians and meet the requirements of National Health Act especially during emergency situations.
However, Chief Patrick Eholor mentioned that he is in court with UBTH for reaping people off during covid-19 pandemic.
Also, for charging poor Nigerians excessive money
