The Akwa Ibom State Government has rejected the test results of the five coronavirus cases announced by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control on Wednesday night.

It fingered irregularities in the testing process and thereby called on the Centre to conduct another round of tests forthwith.

It alleged that the NCDC Director-General, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, was not aware of the results before the announcement. “While the tests were being processed in NCDC-approved test facilities, all suspected cases were held in isolation.

Nigeria. I hail oh

Akwaibom you fall hand! You supposed to be thinking of how to curb the spread in your state, yet all comes your mind is how accurate the test is....yeye de smell! Go to court

I thought Corona virus test result was the only unchallenged result by our politician in Nigeria 🤷‍♂️🙆🙆🤦🤦🤦🤐🤐🤐🤐

And I meant 50%

It makes sense.

Let NCDC indicate the persons. It is as simple as that. We all know that the first instance result is 59% correct. They have bern calling names of persons who are infected. Can they just indicate these persons so we can go to rest

Election results rejected we want Inec to conduct French elections, now COVID-19 text results rejected, we should stop playing politics for every thin

Is it election result?

VA🤭

MrUdomEmmanuel this one is not Udomisright politics.There were reports of cases in AKS weeks back but you decided to play the ostrich. It’s high time you worked for the people of AKS & stop the denial. You have been too lazy for a Gov of AKS.5yrs now & nothing to show for it.

The test result is highly manipulated and doctored by the opposition. NCDC should declare the test inconclusive. We call on the leadership of NCDC to resign. International test observers are hereby put in copy as we may have to take the case to world COVID-19 court.

We'll take NCDC to court, ICC and world court

This country full of comedy something tragicomedy

All are falsy to engulf funds... over 30 to 40 suspected cases in Lagos were discharged...all are suspected cases with fever or malaria n normal coughing...it now turns to COVID19..ask them what it is n how it operates do they know? av they eva done scientific research on it even

You better receive sense, Mr. Governor

Such Irresponsibility and Ignorance. I am really tempted to say let's leave them for the next 14 days but...

😄😄😄

😂😂😂

Na election?

Why would any newspaper consider this newsworthy? When did showing symptoms become the criterion for diagnosis of a disease? Is the person raising dust here a competent health professional or a bunch of attention seeking politician?

Someone should tell Akwa Ibom governor to go purchase testing kits for his state😕

doris8887 Yeye country

Rubbish, see him head when una know wan act fast well I pity my lovely people in Akwa ibom

When this is not an election conducted by INEC. I laugh in efik

Lol.. Looking like inec election headlines

If he wants to be tested again he must pay!

In Nigeria , almost everything have been turned to politics.

Someone should tell the governor that it’s not election result o... It’s like he doesn’t realise

Our politicians don't just know where to draw the line. Na inec election result?😂

These politicians are angry that they can't rig the result of the covid 19 test. They now want to challenge it up to the Supreme court. Haba!!

Nigerians with drama ☹️

Oh goodness this is funny

As per the thing no fit reach Akwa Ibom because their governor ordered for fasting and praying. As if other people in other climes don't fast and pray. Funny people

As per na election results🙄

Lol y'all better be self isolating

AideeAnwana ur people

INEC over to you

Na election?

How did we get here God

Inconclusive results🤣🤣

GbemiDennis Sound like voting results, who is rigging😭

GbemiDennis I hope this controversy of credibility of result won't put spanner into the work of NCDCgov. This should have been silently done by Akwa Ibom state government and NCDCgov. This isn't election result where INEC could be questioned. COVID19Pandemic

Just accept the positive result and self isolate. If after 14 days you show no symptoms then you are negative. Don’t waste testing kits.

Naija way!

They want to waste scarce resources or they think it is election result they can rig? Shame.

there were reports of test kits snatching along the Ibom Specialist hospital. Also, cases of violence was reported by the index patients. All we want is a re-run of tests, not outright cancellation of results.

Am disappointed in MrUdomEmmanuel...This is very shameful

Baba.. What will it profit a Man today to be declared Negative by Duress only to wait after 14 days n Ur Oesophagus is Whizzing for breathe? Baba think am o!!!

They should just end this in Supreme court

Not out of place to request another test in view of what happened in Europe. After all, Spain imported fake testing kits from China that returned false results. Who knows whether that's the case here? Where positive is negative when its should actually be positive.

NaijaFlyingDr Oga , this is not inecnigeria . Calm down Biko.

NaijaFlyingDr God!

UbohoAkpan

Result re-run. Please conduct another election. Thank you and don't mention.

Vagabonds in power. Denial was the reason HIV AIDS spread through SA.

He should head to the tribunal😏

Won tun ti de My friend this is not election result now...why are you rejecting biko?

Gov Udom is a Politician by profession....you can never take the game out of the player, Never!!!😄😄😄

Akwa Ibom State can either commence treatment on the COVIDー19 patients or send them back to their society. NCDC doesn't have enough materials to waste he also seems to be confusing NCDC to INEC where polling units are even re-run too bad there's no returning officer to call VAR

Lol idiot people dem think sey na Election wey dem dey rerun

Leemao. Inconclusive. They think its election.

QuotedReplies

Correct, NCDC is becoming fictitious nowadays. Can't those quarantined be seen? What's their identity?

They should not waste the test kits biko so others will have access to being tested COVIDー19 StayHome COVID19Pandemic

Is everything we play politics with even de people's health...mr Gov u seen nt to ve ready to protect ur people better resign... COVID-19 pandemic is a global medical war dat need a patriot to fight it to a logical conclusion not unserious type of urs....

SMH

Just look at....smh

😂 funny lots

Akwa Ibom is just being stupid...

Kuku waste wats not enough.

As per election result na.

Go and tell Jega

In orders words, supreme court should order a re-run...issokay

''All five reported positive test cases have been contacted and they have shown no COVID-19 symptoms.' Akwa Ibom Governor. I beg ask Mallam El- Rufai

This must be a joke My Akwaibom people why disgrace us in the eyes of the world nau? 😥🥺🥺😥 This is not election result but CORONAVIRUS TEST

Very funny

Akwa Ibom state govt has the right to ask for new COVID‐19 tests if politics in any way played into the figures. However, in situations like this, political leaders should see Nigerians as their top most priority and relegate selfish political interests to the background.

Wat fuckery is this?

The more COVID-19 cases the more COVID-19 -allocation you get, so they have to revalidate or reinitiate fresh test

Maybe he wants to take it to court. 😂😂😂😂

Why not copy US embassy, UK embassy and United nations....yeye people

Lmaoo...think say na INEC

Like say na INEC elections.... 😂😂

Afolabibayor 🙆🏻 9ja don turn wot the world is shedding tears for, to election rigging🙄😭😭😭🏃🏾🏃🏾🏃🏾

Akwa Ibom thinks this is an election result they can reject? I laugh in the rubbish 🤣🤣🤣

VAR

The state government should be ashamed of themselves. A simple study of how the virus operates could have prevented this embarrassment. How can you say the said persons were not yet displaying symptoms so they don't have it. What rubbish.

Inconclusive result. Oya go and challenge the results in court. Simple as ABC.

ediye_akparawa see your people

The state you should go to court and obtain an injunction restraining NCDCgov from accepting the result pending the determination of the case.

The govt of Akwa Ibom state think the figure doesn't make sense and the test carries out was unconfirmed. Seriously, the govt may have a point. Pick a chair, don't conclude yet and watch how it plays out. Finally, read the article.

NCDC should give them go ahead to carry the test because the result was rigged. Many of them still believe coronavirus is scam. Udom is not ready

Egungu and the Express, produced by Moto

They should take it to tribunal.

No wonder they debuted with 5 cases straight, they should go to tribunal for appeal

The Smart card Reader was not used... There was no accreditation.

INEC should stop the rigging 😭😭

MrUdomEmmanuel go to covid19 tribunal. Lets be mad together

They dont Have sense

It has been declared inconclusive

Is it election result? They wan rig am?

Me too did not accept, the test kit was rigged. And the the test centres where mared with violence. We will not accept

Reject results is this some sort of INEC result abeg, please take your case to the tribunal. Una no dey ever shame

The Governor knows something we don't know.

“Rejects” like say na election😂😂😂 You clowns better face reality. The number is probably higher than that sef but hasn’t been confirmed due to not enough testing

In a fraud nation, every body is a suspect...

Haha

See them

philsbreakthru Abdolleez

Sounds like PDP rejects Governorship result, ask INEC to conduct another one. Jokers

This Governor needs to be enlighten about covid19

They thought this is election result

So we’ll hear they wanna drag NCDC to Supreme Court.

Get your lawyers ready and head to the COVID-19 tribunal in China. 🤣

With which test kit?

Nobody trust anybody again.🤔

People that are looking down on us.😂😂😂😂

Supreme Court ... here we come

NaijaFlyingDr Nothing person no go see for Nigeria

They should challenge the result in court .

Lol, they are mistaking NCDC for INEC because they both have four letters 😁😁

Too many idiots in government. You didn't invest in setting up your own lab but you are gallivanting querying results from an agency that is trying to keep people in your state alive. Shameless!

Go tribunal na arbi

NaijaFlyingDr Akwa Ibom is a funny state that rejects everything. The first was the NAIIS report that placed them at 1st position for HIV burden at 5.5% prevalence , and now these COVID-19 results.

Please sir can I be your wife for saying the truth

Yes I love this this man

So with these development, there is need for the government to set up Covid19 petition tribunal.....

😲🤔❓👎

This is why I am pleading with God to take this thing away from Nigeria because we will end up politicizing it. And before we know what's happening hundreds of thousands would have died.

NaijaFlyingDr ornohme 😂😂

This governor is delusional. He think this is election result that can be manipulated. He should face up to the consequences of his negligence and refusal to be proactive.

Shame

fawzyvectoronim abdulbaqimamman See your country people oo!😂😂😂

Na election result?

The governor must be sick!

MrAkume our people lacking in Shame

Hello, is that a political achievement. I can't believe it, contesting the result at this time. We are all ears on what you have put in place to ensure it does not get to your State.

They have turned it into elections, tomorrow they’ll have SAN’s appealing the results at the supreme court

NaijaFlyingDr Wait wait..... baba think say na election results be this? EmodiMba DoctorEmto

Seriously, how can people be this stupid? You’d expect uninformed people to be doing this. Denying the existence of something like the Covid-19 & ’rejecting’ test results but not state governments . Whether it’s a correct result or not, which it most likely is, get those people..

NaijaFlyingDr They don turn NCDC to INEC. They think say na election 😁.

Silly!

Someone should please tell some people that NCDC is not INEC... end of story!

Is it an election result?

lmao Go to supreme court to receive your sense

Other states accepted their cases. But my state will always politicize everything. Why not take it to tribunal? Y’all make me puke!!!

Inconclusive done enter this matter ?

It will soon turn to APC and PDP matter now!!🤦🏿

Being in denial is very dangerous and destructive. The earlier they face the fact the earlier they be start tackling the COVID19

Yes! We call for a fresh test on those purported cases.

What kind of rubbish is this😖😖

This is another joke.. when we don't have enough test kits another is requesting for return... This is not INEC abeg.. The earlier the start receiving treatment in isolation, the better for them all and for the good people of Akwa Ibom. StayHomeSaveLives GiveHope CMDANigeria
