The Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, has accepted blame for the recent mysterious deaths in the State.
He said that the deaths were caused, following the failure by the government to test suspected coronavirus cases on time.
Speaking through a statement by his Spokesperson, Abba Anwar, Governor Ganduje noted that the spread is now uncontrollable, hence the State is in trouble.
“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.
Governor Ganduje added that the State now has the capacity to collect 600 samples on a daily basis.
Kano is the State with the second-highest cases of coronavirus in Nigeria, as at Sunday, May 3, 2020.
