Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, says the state is in trouble due to the presence of the coronavirus disease.

Speaking on Sunday at the presentation of a COVID-19 Mobile Testing Centre donated by the Dangote Foundation to the state, Ganduje said the delay in testing suspected cases was responsible for the exploding number of coronavirus infections in the state.

According to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Abba Anwar, the governor said the absence of functional testing centres in the state worsened its situation amid the pandemic.

Ganduje said, “There is no doubt that Kano is in trouble. And there is no doubt that we started on a shaky foundation. When samples were taken to Abuja for 7 hours and came back again in 7 hours, that was the shaky foundation I am talking about.

“We then lodged our complaint to President Muhammadu Buhari, who ordered for the establishment of a Testing Centre at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, which after take-off was shut down for some days if not weeks. That was what escalated the transmission of the disease up to community transmission.

“But with the coming back of the AKTH Testing Centre and the addition of Bayero University, Kano that has the capacity of testing about 200 samples per day now, with the coming of Dangote Mobile Testing Centre of 400 samples capacity, we are making headway in facing the crisis squarely.”

Also present at the event, the Director-General of Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, was quoted to have said, “I just want the people of Kano to understand that we have not left you. We are behind you hundred per cent.

“I want to assure you that, by the time we hear from the findings of Dr Nasiru Sani Gwarzo’s team from the Presidential Task Force, for the days they have been here, we will have more solutions that we will use in solving the problems from Kano.”

According to the NCDC as of the time of filing this report, 313 coronavirus infections have been reported in the state.

Instead of shouting what everyone already knw you should've start what is needed.

May your trouble remain with you and not affect innocent Nigerians.

But you keep asking for 15b

Ganduje is mad. At first he was more concerned about getting N15 billion from Abuja.

Mumuu man, Corona kill una there

IS THIS NOT "AFOWO FA? CAUSED BY YOU AND THE GODS ARE ANNOYED? AMINU KANO IMPORTED MARTASINE AND HIS BLOOD SUCKING GROUP INTO THE STATE HOUSE. ISN'T THAT WHY HE DIED IN MISERY?

Better to admit this now and start the vigorous activities to reduce the mortality rate coming soon than waiting to load N15bn in your babanriga....!
Kano known for fanatical stance on everything won't miss this one.

Gaduje u are the cause, cus u are too religious.

Gandollar have now fully understand what reasonable people have been shouting while he was busy obsessed with useless intraparty politics, removing Emir Sanusi & salivating over a phantom $15B from FG.

You better prepare for morbidity & mortality.Thank goodness other neighbouring states like Kaduna are not taking chances so you will carry your cross alone.Kindly remember this is not an election case you may wish to rig with almajiris or security agents.

The next president after buhari...



North 2023
No vacancy in aso rock

Everyone let us forget about the Gandollar scandal for a moment. Ganduje is being honest here.

All man on his own

atiku4President:
Mau your trouble remain with you and not affect innocent Nigerians.

So who are the people getting infected now, is it Ganduje or scores of innocent Nigerians?

He has gotten the attention he was looking for.

And I read he is a medical Dr. Is that true?

Give him his N15B

Ganduje said, “There is no doubt that Kano is in trouble. And there is no doubt that we started on a shaky foundation. When samples were taken to Abuja for 7 hours and came back again in 7 hours, that was the shaky foundation I am talking about.

Mumu man failing woefully at trying to shift blame from himself.......

“I want to assure you that, by the time we hear from the findings of Dr Nasiru Sani Gwarzo’s team from the Presidential Task Force, for the days they have been here, we will have more solutions that we will use in solving the problems from Kano.”

Shebi d Dr Nasiru Sani Gwarzo’s team don talk say na Coronavirus.......make we see wetin mumu man go do

This man needs a crash course on Leadership

A whole governor with reasonable IGR, Favorable Allocations and 'citizens' holding juicy Federal Appointment, But still calling Federal Government to come and establish Test Centers.

Well, presidency gave Kano their governor, presidency will clear the mess.

Is it not the same ganduje that his daughter came out one certain time to gloat over her father being a badass politician??.

Now Coronavirus don expose the badass babanriga politician clulessness

Nonsense and idoitic dollar thief

This man sha wan collect 15bn from Buhari

Ganduje your lockdown was not effective and you know it. You took the alarm for granted unlike El-Rufai who was proactive.

You know there is high level of indiscipline in Kano and you did not seek for help to enforce strict lockdown instead you wanted it relaxed for whatever religious reasons or political correctness. I think you should face the consequences of you inactions and stop making noise.

Ignorance is bad

Gandollar.... YOU ARE IN TROUBLE!!!

Ganduje 4 Fresident

When they were rearing almajiris for political purposes they didn't know there was a downside.

Having free roaming-kids in any society is never a good thing

What is he saying, Na now u dey know?

Remember Your Primary Responsibility

Ayade said he will send one million nose mask to kano state... Ayade should be arrested for mocking kano state... He is full of scam.. God decided to punish cross River state by giving us Ayade as a governor

The gods are angry. When you shamefully oust a man who seeks change and transformation in that manner, you are bound to suffer the consequences. Could it be that the prominent ppl dying are some of the council elders behind Sanusi ousting
1. The FG should mount serious concrete roadblocks across all Kano borders and focus on curtailing the spread of the virus in Kano.
2. There is a low key political face to all these Kano cases. We need video evidences of the realities in Kano because this might just be a 15 billion naira card joker from Gandollar.
3. Going forward, the almajiri system should be completely decapitated. Imagine a covid-19 positive almajiri running after your car in the traffic or trying to grab your hand while begging for money.
Coronavirus is still out there. Stay save and stay at home if you can feed yourself despite the ease of lockdown.

But this is all caused by this Ganduje man. Other states started their isolation Centres without intervention from the FG at first before FG assisted. He intentionally bleeped his people over by waiting on 15 billion & relaxing lockdown

Gan

Just do ur best and leave the rest....if FG gives him the 15b that he asked for...am sure he will slow down in giving out updates.

All em governors just wan cashout ontop dx CoronaVirus Matter
