The Speaker, Kogi State House of Assembly, Matthew Kolawole, has called on the Federal Government to consider ending the lockdown imposed to control COVID-19 pandemic.

The Speaker made the call on Monday in an interactive session with journalists in Lokoja, the state capital.

The Speaker, who aligned himself with the position of the state Governor, Yahaya Bello, on the pandemic, said, “Honestly, I want to align myself with the position of the governor that the issue is more political than reality, the symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever, catarrh and pneumonia, which we are all familiar with and we have our own way of treating them.”

According to him, the state House of Assembly has enacted legislation to help the state to tackle the virus if it spreads to the state. He said the house had also set up a committee under the leadership of the Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Ahmed, to liaise with the squadron committee set up by the governor under the leadership of the Deputy Governor, Edward Onoja to address the pandemic.All rights reserved.
