The National Coordinator of the North Central Coalition for Leadership (NCCL), Williams Charles has said the Ekiti State governor , Dr Kayode Fayemi, who is the Chairman of the Progressive Governor’s Forum lied during a live interview he granted to Channels Television yesterday on the state of Covid-19 pandemic in Kogi State.
” I am totally disappointed at Dr. Kayode Fayemi. How on earth can he say people are dying in Kogi state of Covid -19? Where did he get his record or information from? Let him come clean with proof of this allegations on same National Television ” Williams stated.
” In order to justify your position, you do not make careless and unsubstantiated allegations. I live in Kogi state and this is strange to me. Not as if people do not die,but must we tie all deaths to Covid-19? This has gone a long way to justify the position of Gov. Yahaya Bello that some desperate politicians are on the prowl, taking advantage of the pandemic, but please do not drag Kogi State into your plans.
” It is on record that during the first wave of Covid-19, death rate reduced in Kogi state drastically. How this happened can only be explained beats any scientific explanation and the records are there to ascertain this. It is misleading, wicked and malicious to say people are dropping dead of Covid-19 in Kogi state. If he does not produce proof of this, then he has lost my respect forever” Williams said emphatically.
It would be recall that yesterday on Channels Television during an Interview, the Gov. Kayode Fayemi said that people of Kogi State are dying of Covid-19. This was in response to the position of Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi state who said during an event last week that Covid-19 vaccines is a fraud, meant to kill people and he won’t be part of it.
