“The party lamented that the Kogi State Government has failed to engage in expected campaigns, public enlightenment as well as the establishment of adequate treatment facilities and protocols to guarantee public health and disease management, while Governor Bello continues to carry on as if the lives of the people of Kogi do not matter.
“We note with pain the death of the Chief Judge of Kogi state, Nasir Ajana, who had to be moved from Lokoja, the Kogi state capital, to an isolation facility in Abuja.
“The situation in Kogi leaves no one in doubt that Governor Bello cares so little about the welfare of the people, particularly in the face of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic,” the statement reads.
