God sent meningitis disease to punish Nigerians – Governor Yari

Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, has said that the current outbreak of Type C Cerebrospinal Meningitis, is God’s way of punishing Nigerians.

Yari stated this while speaking with journalists at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Tuesday.

The Governor claimed that God is unleashing his wrath on Nigerians, for turning their back on him.

“What we used to know as far as meningitis is concerned is the Type A virus. The World Health Organisation, WHO, has carried out vaccinations against this Type A virus not just in Zamfara, but many other states.

“However, because people refused to stop their nefarious activities, God now decided to send Type C virus, which has no vaccination.

“People have turned away from God and he has promised that ‘if you do anyhow, you see anyhow’ that is just the cause of this outbreak as far as I am concerned.

“There is no way fornication will be so rampant and God will not send a disease that cannot be cured,” Yari said.
He also dispelled insinuations that his government failed to act accordingly.

Yari said he called an emergency meeting with top state and local government officials and traditional rulers, adding that “the meeting came out with a strategy to be adopted and the money required to deal with the outbreak and a lot of work is going on”.
