NMA tackles Yahaya Bello over rejection of COVID-19 results

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has condemned Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State for rejecting the COVID-19 results announced by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).

This newspaper reports that the Kogi state government had rejected the results by the NCDC, that two positive cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the state.

In a statement on Thursday, the state Commissioner for Health, Dr Saka Audu, described the results as a “fallacy,” insisting that Kogi was free from COVID-19.

However, In a chat with Vanguard,  the President of NMA, Dr Francis Faduyile cautioned the Kogi government and advised the Federal Government to call the governor to order.

Faduyile also challenged the state government to show Nigerians evidence that the state was free from COVID-19, rather than downgrading the results released by the health agency.

He said: “The state government should show its evidence. The people that did the laboratory tests have shown theirs.

“It is expected that the state government should give Nigerians evidence that they have tested hundreds of people and could not find a case of coronavirus.”

“This problem has nothing to do with politics because it is science. So it is not about what the state accepts or what they do not accept.

“I call on the Federal Government to call Governor Yahaya Bello to order. We have been talking about this and asking the governor for his understanding.

“We don’t live in a world which one man rules. We live in a world where we are governed by scientific evidence. There is something we call ‘reproducibility’. If he is not convinced, let us reproduce it again. But not on the state government’s terms. Let us take the samples and do it again.

“We want the Federal Government to ensure that the right thing is done.”

  1. The evidence that Kogi Is free from Coro is that since the issue started some months ago if really it exists in Kogi it supposed to have manifested, if you hide sickness you can’t hide death.
