Corona lessons from Kano
Kano is in the news, all for the wrong reasons. The focus is on the state’s management of COVID-19.
Then, the governor was accused of placing his daughter to head the Kano COVID-19 Task Force. Not a few have bleated: see, she’s his daughter, so “nepotism” shut down the efforts, ab initio — maybe. Then, the Kano governor virtually clambered out of bed to demand a N15 billion COVID-19 federal grant, just because Lagos had benefited from an earlier N10 billion grant! How did His Excellency, very far from excellent and rigorous thinking, come about this calculation? Again, the Nigerian states’ penchant for central parasitism, hiding behind a health emergency! It’s certainly not the governor’s finest hour.
And when the result comes haunting everyone, why should such a people suddenly become as white as snow, and the governor, the only devil fit to be nailed on the cross ?
