Member representing Kabba Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Teejay Yusuf has described Kogi government’s indifference to COVID-19 as playing the ostrich.
The lawmaker commended the family of the Chief Imam of Kabba, Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Ejibunu for the timely alert that confirmed the Islamic leader as the index case of COVID-19 in Kogi State, noting that the Chief Imam and his extended family have demonstrated that they are true sons of Kabba. “It is foolhardy to assume that any state has territorial invincibility against COVID-19 which has become a threat to all parts of the world, including the Vatican and the holy city of Mecca; the USA which has some of the world’s best medical systems has lost more than 100, 000 lives, so in Kogi where the number of available hospital beds and other resources are limited, our best chance is to prevent a dangerous spread.
