The Kogi State Government has denied claims that Governor Yahaya Bello had prevailed on health workers at the Federal Medical Center, Lokoja, to evacuate a patient alleged to have been diagnosed with symptoms of COVID-19.
The governor, who had been at loggerheads with Director-General of Nigeria Center for Disease Control, Chikwe Ihekweazu, following his comments that Kogi had not sent enough samples for tests and that was why the state had not recorded any case. “His commitment to his people's wellness is the reason the desperate merchants are trying, though unsuccessfully to blackmail the governor.”
So far, kogi is silent on the situation prevailing as it is affecting states. Hope we are safe in kogi.
I hope this is not true.
