Gov: I got Buhari’s approvalState bickers with Kwankwaso over 60-bed isolation hospitalGovernor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State unexpectedly relaxed the coronavirus induced lockdown in the state on Saturday even as the mysterious deaths in the state continued.
The state government is also bickering with the immediate past governor of the state, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso over alleged donation of a 60-bed hospital by the latter as isolation centre. But a few hours after the PTF meeting ended, members heard of the relaxation of the lockdown by the governor. “The PTF met on Saturday to review the situation but there was no such a demand from Ganduje. The only issue was about the concern that some governors have not been working in tandem with the committee to contain the coronavirus disease.
The Governor explained that all the major markets will remain closed, except some selected supermarkets He said: “From the reports, we have seen, no doubt that there is mass increase of COVID-19 cases in Kano. This is an issue that people should be conscious of so that we can take the protocols very seriously.”
