Africa Press-Nigeria:
The governor of Ebonyi State Chief David Umahi on Thursday swore in a former federal lawmaker, Mr Lazarus Ogbe who represented Ikwo/Ezza South federal constituency, in the National Assembly.
Recall that Ogbe contested for a second tenure for the House of Representative in 2019 and won but was later sacked by the Election Tribunal sitting in Enugu state.
Ogbe was sworn in as the Commissioner for Intergovernmental Affairs.
The governor, in addressing the stakeholders of the state during a live broadcast that took place at the old government house Abakaliki, lamented that the state has recorded over 152 COVID-19 cases.
Umahi, however, said his administration has started the reconstruction of the thirteen general hospitals in the state, to serve as COVID-19 treatment centres.
