Barely 24 hours after Member representing Toro/Jama’a Constituency of the Bauchi State House of Assembly, Alhaji Tukur Ibrahim, had tested positive to the coronavirus disease, another member of the house is also confirmed positive.
WikkiTimes has exclusively gathered that the second member of the house who tested positive for the virus is Honorable Musa Mante, Baraza Constituency in Dass LGA of Bauchi State.
Mante is said to be a close friend of Hon. Tukur Ibrahim who had earlier tested positive for the virus.
WikkiTimes recalls that the Speaker of the Assembly, Abubakar Y. Suleiman had mandated all members of the assembly to submit their blood samples for medical examination.
“Samples of members are being taken for the COVID-19 tests; other members, whose samples have not been taken, should meet the medical personnel who are already in the House.”
Sulaiman also called on the legislators and the general public to maintain the protocols on coronavirus, to stop further spread of the disease.
“Such protocols include social distancing, regular hand washing with running water, use of face masks among others,” he said.
The speaker noted that the assembly would do everything possible to curb further spread of the dreaded virus in the state.
