OVID-19: NCDC officials flee Kogi following Gov. Bello’s isolation directive
MAY 7, 2020
Officials of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, have reportedly fled Kogi State shortly after Governor Yahaya Bello’s directive asking them to go into isolation at the state quarantine centre for fourteen days.
Governor Bello had ordered the leader of the officials of the National Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, Dr Andrew Noah to go into isolation at the state quarantine centre for fourteen days or leave the state immediately if they refused.
The governor gave the order Thursday night when the visiting NCDC official shook hands with the state Director of Protocol while exchanging microphone after speaking to introduce his team to the audience.
The governor said that the step was to ensure that the laid down procedure of checkmating the scourge by NCDC is strictly followed.
Bello while addressing the officials said in part, “Our people are adequately sensitised in all languages and locations throughout the state about Covid-19. As much as practicable Kogites now observe social distancing, handwashing and other protocols for prevention of infection.
“The Kogi State Ministry of Health has deployed health personnel to all the 239 Wards of the State, 2 focal persons per ward, who constantly sensitize the people on the dangers of the virus, communicate news or even rumours of suspected cases to the incident committee or task force for investigation and also assist in contact tracing.
“We have set up 3 modern Isolation/ Containment Centres in the State having a combined capacity of 130-bed spaces. These facilities currently lie unused. It is our prayer and our determination that these isolation centres will remain vacant until the pandemic is over.
“We have provided emergency and toll-free numbers for the general public to call in and report suspected cases of Covid-19 at no cost whatsoever. We have also fielded many of such calls. All of them turned out to be false alarms upon investigation and did not meet the criteria from the NCDC for cases which should be sampled for testing.
“In the circumstances, we cannot manufacture cases in order to be counted among the states which have recorded same. As a Governor I hear there are ‘benefits’ for having Covid-19 cases in your state, well, I am not interested”.

UNDERSTANDING THE PRINCIPLES OF POLITICS
In politics you must understand that;
(1). Nobody has your interests.
(2). Everybody is chasing their own interests.
(3). Dealing with politicians is like sleeping with tigers; you must always have your eyes wide open.
(4). In any Political equation, there's always someone being used. If you can't find one then it is you.
(5). Serving Politicians is like being a bandage on a wound. Once the wound is healed your usefulness ends. Politicians don't recognize and reward value they recognize their own needs and you are only as useful as the lifespan of their need for you.
(6). In Politics never wail more than the bereaved. They will get the reward while you inherit their enemies.
(7). In Politics, in any event that other interests conflict with your own interests and you have to choose, always choose yours.
(8). Never cross oceans for Politicians; you will drown and the best they will do is give a benevolent speech at your burial, lie to your widow and children and eat your food. Politicians will never cross the streets for their foot soldiers.
(9). Don't kill yourself for their ambition or put your life at risk for any politician.
(1. Above all, Family and Health are things you should never use to attack a man. Politics is never that serious.
(11). Lastly to all the Youths, it's too risky to sacrifice your Career, Health, Personal character, Social capital and integrity in pursuit of short term and temporary rewards, offered by Politicians, unless of course you are the one in control and have a long term game plan.
