Nigerians React As Yahaya Bello Speaks On Coronavirus Test Results

Nigerians have taken to social media to react to a video message done by the Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, on his alleged coronavirus test results.

Bello, in a short video message on Wednesday, said that he does not have the virus adding that anyone who wished it upon him will ‘have HIV’.

In his words; “I ain’t got no COVID. Those who wish me to have COVID..will have HIV. I’m Good, Hale and Hearty”.

He also challenged anyone who doubted his health status to a boxing match.

“I challenge anybody to the boxing ring. I am gonna beat the hell out of you there”.

The governor was rumoured to have met President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, who tested positive for the deadly virus and is currently in isolation.

Some Nigerians have taken to Twitter to mock the governor for his comments, while others were indifferent about the governor’s remarks.

Below are some of the reactions captured by POLITICS NIGERIA on Twitter on Wednesday;
