Yahaya Bello Yahaya Bello

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has said that he will battle COVID-19 if it ever gets confirmed in the state.

In a video showing him working out, Yahaya Bello described COVID-19 which has killed hundreds of thousands worldwide as an idiot.

"If COVID-19 comes to Kogi State, you have a governor that will combat and defeat the idiot', he said.

Meanwhile, Kingsley Fanwo, the State Commissioner of Information, has said that there are “attempts to import the disease or declare fictitious cases”.

He said, “In view of the fact that Kogi State is one of only two states still COVID-19 free in Nigeria and having regard to recent pressures from some interesting quarters for Kogi State to find and declare cases of the disease, we are wary of an unholy conspiracy to declare COVID-19 in all states of the federation.”
