Zamfara State Governor Abdulaziz Yari says the current outbreak of Type C Meningitis in the country is God’s way of punishing Nigerians for disobeying him.
The governor spoke in Hausa during an interview with State House reporters on Tuesday after meeting with President Muhammdu Buhari.
“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 stated.
