The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesome Wike, has scolded most Nigeria Politicians over the publicity they’ve given to their coronavirus status, charging them to also publicise their HIV status.
Meanwhile, some state Governors like Bala Mohammed, Nasir El- Rufai and Seyi Makinde, and have all earlier professed that they tested positive for pandemic disease.
While other state Governors also publicize their coronavirus status after being testing negative to the virus.
In a statement, Wike said;
“Everything is politicised in Nigeria. Governors, commissioners will go for a test and will tell the world they are positive /negative to attract publicity but nobody has gone for an HIV test to declare their status“, he said.
“Everything we publicise to attract Nigerians. Testing negative has become news now. For us in Rivers state, this thing is immaterial.
Wike also added that Rivers State has been the subject of criticisms as against other states worthy of such.
“There are states that have been singled out to be punished. In Abuja, a trailer was mobbed but if it was in Rivers State there would have been headlines that the state is not safe.”
“All those politicising COVID-19, saying they tested Positive and now Negative, they should also make public their HIV Status
