Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has authorised the
use of anti-malaria drugs, Chloroquine and Zithromax for the purpose of
treating Coronavirus (COVID-19).
The Governor said he is ready to take responsibility for any
consequence of approving such drugs.
Bala, who was the COVID-19 index case in the state, revealed
that he was treated with “chloroquine and Zithromax.”
The Governor stated this while providing an update on
COVID-19 in the State at the Government House, Bauchi on Thursday
“Our medical team is using their own ingenuity to use
chloroquine and Zithromax to treat the patients, even though in some places,
they said it is against the protocol,” he said.
“As the governor, I’m taking responsibility for that because
I don’t want anyone to die.
“I have given you the directive that you must use something
that I have used to get well, just as you have used for all other cases that
got well.
“Rather than saying that something is harmful, we should not
follow what the white people are saying by not taking anything and die.
“We are used to taking chloroquine in Nigeria. We are going
to use them. We have taken responsibility and I have taken responsibility.
“Zithromax and chloroquine are not harmful to our body, our
physiological system has adapted to it. If you are having a fever you take
chloroquine,” he said.
