Kogi State Deputy Governor, Onoja Downplays COVID-19

Kogi State Deputy Governor, Edward Onoja, on Thursday, condemned the claim by the Federal Government on the existence of COVID-19 in Nigeria.

Onoja in a post on Twitter called on Nigerians to name any “non-high profile” person that died of COVID-19.

Recall that the state Governor, Yahaya Bello, has been downplaying the virus, and even suggested that the lockdown measures are politicized.

Onoja in his post wrote, “Leave the statistics.”

“Do you personally know any citizen, not Public figure, who has died of Covid 19?.”

“And have you witnessed any burial of such? Don’t tell me yes based on the High Profile kind of Product advertisement we are seeing.”

“If you haven’t seen such. Just seal your mouth. Not every human has frozen minds.”

“Anyways you will collect the Vaccine next month in Nigeria ??. The vaccine surprisingly came almost a year faster than they said it would come.”

“We are watching. If they could tell us the Identity of other persons with Covid 19? I’m shocked why they are still concealing the Italian guy.”

“However, you reason it both with logic, science and common sense. The Covid-19 matter has never added up. Las they will say the Vaccine was the solution. The matter will end. Till they throw in another one. This time not from the fish market but from frog market.”

Meanwhile, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha has declared the second wave of the virus in Nigeria.

SGF Mustapha stated this on Thursday during the daily media briefing of the COVID-19 Task Force.
