By Bukola Olasanmi

Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has declared that he is doing well, responding to treatment and still in charge as the Chief Security Officer of the state.

The governor, in a two-minute video he sent to the people of Bauchi State via his Twitter handle on Wednesday evening, thanked people of the state for standing by him in this trying moment saying that the solidarity has further lifted his desire to do more for the state.

Mohammed, who spoke in Hausa language in the video, reassured people of the state that he is responding to treatment well and will soon be out of isolation to enable him to continue with his official duties as the governor, stressing that even now he is in charge of running affairs of the state in the proxy.

The governor commended the Rapid Response Taskforce headed by the Deputy Governor, Sen Baba Tela for doing a wonderful job of curtailing the spread of the virus through sensitisation, mobilisation and surveillance.

He, however, appealed to the people of Bauchi State to as a matter of necessity adhere to all the preventive measures put in place by the government in order to check the spread of the infection urging them to observe the stay at home directive during the 14 days of the total lockdown of the state effective from Thursday.

It will be recalled that the governor tested positive to COVID-19 about two weeks ago and has remained quarantined while medical experts have been attending to him.
