Yahaya Bello,
governor of Kogi state, refused to wear a face mask after meeting with
President Muhammadu Buhari at Aso Rock on Friday.
Wearing of face mask
is one of the measures put in place by health authorities to prevent the spread
of coronavirus.
While the other All
Progressives Congress (APC) governors who were with him had their masks on
during a media briefing after the meeting, Bello was the only one who did not
have his face covered.
He has always
insisted there is no COVID-19 in his state, even when reported cases were
announced, he accused the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) of being
fraudulent.
Three weeks ago, the
governor imposed a 14-day lockdown on Kabba/Bunu local government area of the
state following the index cases of COVID-19 in the state but he relaxed the
lockdown after four days, insisting that Kogi is free of the disease.
Ahmad Ejibunu, chief
imam of Kabba, and one of his aides had tested positive for the disease in
Abuja after they were moved to the nation’s capital from a hospital in the
state.
Below are pictures
of the meeting.
