A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Dr. Mustspha Halilu Yaro on Saturday faulted the Federal Government’s December deadline for COVID-19 directive.

In an exclusive chat with DAILY POST in Kaduna on Saturday, Dr. Mustapha disagreed with the compulsory COVID-19 vaccination deadline set by the federal government.

He said, the federal government has a hidden motive for threatening and forcing Nigerians to be vaccinated.

Recall that the Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, announced the new directive at a briefing on Wednesday.

He explained that civil servants would not be allowed to enter offices starting from December 1 without vaccination proof.

Mustapha said, “With effect from 1st December, 2021, Federal Government employees shall be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result done within 72 hours, to gain access to their offices, in all locations within Nigeria and our Missions.”

Dr. Mustspha who is presently a lecturer in the Department of History, Kaduna state University, reminded the government of some basic fundamental human rights as applicable to all, irrespective of position, tribe, language and tradition.
