THE NAME OF IMO COVID-19 INDEX CASE , TIMELINES OF CORONAVIRUS IN IMO AND WHAT THE UZODIMMA LED APC REGIME ARE NOT TELLING IMO PEOPLE.

By: Ambrose Nwaogwugwu

As a responsible and credible opposition party, the PDP in Imo, for the love and being very concerned about the general wellbeing of our people, will at all times give very credible information on what our people should know at every point in time, most especially, by this time of global covid-19 pandemic for an informed mind is an enlightened mind.

We have given the state government the benefit of the doubts; to announce the identity of the covid-19 index case, and of the timelines surrounding the case to better inform the people of the state on the best precautionary as a result but regrettably unfortunate - the Hope Uzodimma Led APC Regime decided to keep malice with the people as after over 3 days the NCDC officially announced an index case, neither the governor nor the covid-19 taskforce committee or even the commissioner for health has deemed it fit to inform our people about the index case or even give the timeline of events so as to keep the people on the know.

For failing on their responsibilities yet again, we shall take up the pains and assume the responsibility to better inform our people as the imposed APC regime has failed our people once again as they have always failed.

The Name Of the Imo COVID-19 index case is a police Orderly to the Governor of Imo State, Sen. Hope Uzodinma and his name is Inspector Joseph Egwemi who hails from Kogi state.

From our investigations; Inspector Joseph Egwemi returned back from Kogi State to Owerri on the 21st day of April, 2020.

He had visited his state, for reasons we could not ascertain, and returned back to his duty post to the government House of Imo State where her serves as an Orderly of the governor.

Few days after resuming work; he started feeling unwell and doctors from FMC Owerri were summoned to the Government House and being very experienced health care providers, the doctors took all necessary precautions and took blood and saliva samples and ran tests for covid-19 and on the 25th of April, 2020. the test came out positive for coronavirus from Ebonyi molecular laboratory coronavirus test centre and on the 26th of April, 2020. the NCDC made the official pronouncements announcing the first ever covid-19 patient in Owerri which happens to be the index case.

We are at lost as to the reason why the state government decided to keep malice on the people of our dear state and has refused talking to the people some over 70 hours after and has continued to keep sealed lips.

We are indeed worried by the turn out of events as the state government continues to keep sealed lips on this case which is giving rise to apprehension and heightens confusion in the state which is not in the best interests of our people.

Is there anything that the state government is hiding from the people?

Coronavirus is not a death sentence and we expect the state government to be transparent and sincere so as to assure our people about this fact.

Leaders all over the world has been announcing to their people each of every other thing about what they are doing and who and who has been tested positive, most especially when it's an index case.

We watched how Boris Johnson went through all the whole process including when he went into the ICU.

Back home, we saw how the Lagos state government gave the identity of the index case patient as a citizen of Italy, and also gave the timeline of events that culminated to the case, even the Federal government announced the testing of the Chief of Staff to the president, including his death and so many other people including state governors have done in recent past so we wonder why the Uzodimma APC led Regime in Imo state will keep on keeping the entire state in the dark.

It is over 3 days of the official announcement by NCDC yet the state government - either the governor, the covid-19 taskforce committee or even the commissioner for health has briefed IMO people about the case - not even the travel history of this patient has been made known to the public as they continue to endanger the lives of our people.

By giving identities of the patients and timelines of the case like travel history will aid the general public in taking precautions and we wonder if the APC regime in the state wants to infect the rest of the state by their continued silence.

We implore our people to be calm and very careful most especially those of the people who may have had course to be on the road on 21/04 /2020 when this man transited into Owerri from Kogi state.

We however wish Inspector Joseph Egwemi a very quick recovery as he battles with coronavirus.
