Against several calls from some Nigerians including the
opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP, that the Kogi State Governor, Alhaji
Yahaya Bello should go for test to ascertain his status on the current deadly
coronavirus pandemic that have claimed several lives in the world, the governor
has come out to state that those wishing that he contact the disease would be
infected with HIV/Aids.
The governor stated this in a 28 seconds video. Gov Bello in
the video claimed to be hale and hearty.
The governor challenged any body doubting to the boxing
ring, assuring that he would emerge victorious.
His words” I gat no COVID. Those who wish me to have COVID
will have HIV. I am good, hale and hearty. I challenge everybody to the boxing
ring”.
It would be recalled that the Kogi State Chapter of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had advised Alhaji Yahaya Bello to immediately
subject himself to Covid-19 test having had contact with Abba kyari, the Chief
of staff to President Mohammadu Buhari.
The PDP in a statement signed by the Director Research and
Documentation, Achadu Dickson said the fight against the dreaded Covid-19 virus
can only be won when stakeholders show responsibility beyond lips service.
He urged those who had contact with the CoS to go for test.
The statement appealed to the APC led government not to play politics with the
health and safety of Kogites,
He, however, prayed for Gov. Bello and wished that he tests
negative at the end.
“The PDP notes that it has still not seen any concrete
preparation by the government to tackle the scourge in the state beyond the
shut down and ban of public gatherings. We urged the Government to take a cue
from what is obtained in Borno, Lagos and other states where they have shown
serious commitment to fighting the scourge.
” For an issue that is presently a global phenomenon and
requires political and other will to fight by leadership at all strata, we are
worried by the sudden disappearance of the governor from the state for no
serious reason, described it as unfortunate. The PDP however called on the
state government to be civil even in the face of the enforcement of the order
banning public gatherings,” the statement added.
