The Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, has advised the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, to
apologize to people of the state for misleading them on COVID-19 pandemic.
Recall that the Kogi
State government had in May insisted that no resident tested positive for
COVID-19 in the state.
The state, however,
recorded its index case last week and this led to the declaration of a total
lockdown in Kabba Bunu Local Government Area of the state be the governor.
Reacting to
lockdown, PDP said Bello should apologize for not allowing people of the state
to be tested.
The party in a
statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said
Bello should apologize because he failed to provide the needed leadership since
the pandemic started.
Ologbondiyan said
the governor needs to “apologize for mounting his treadmill and shadow boxing
with COVID-19 when he was expected to lead the campaign against the pandemic.”
He disclosed that
the governor did not “show the required seriousness in leadership in the fight
against the pandemic in the state,” adding that as a governor, he ought to
apologize for also not funding even the committee he set up to fight the pandemic
and for not providing palliatives to the people as done in other states.
