Gov Bello Says, noise about COVID-19 is for financial and political gain, predicts the scourge will end in 21 days.

Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, on Wednesday, shrugged off reports that he had contracted the coronavirus.

The Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, who attended the third-day Fidau prayer of the governor’s late mother, tested positive for the disease on Tuesday.

Both men met and shook hands at the event.

However, in a video posted on his Facebook page, Bello dismissed the rumour that he had contracted the disease.

He also predicted that the COVID-19 pandemic would end in 21days.

The governor added that the ”noise” about COVID-19 is for political and financial gain.

Bello said: “There are a lot of lies about COVID. There are a lot of politics about COVID-19. I am not playing politics with my people’s lives or pretend and steal money because of this so-called pandemic.

I can assure you that 90 percent of the noise about COVID-19 is political, economical, financial and material gain. The remaining 10 percent is the flu.”
