Zamfara’s Governor Tags Meningitis Breakout As Punishment From God.

Today’s fool of the day is the Governor of Zamfara state, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari, who on Tuesday attributed the outbreak of meningitis in a range of states across the country to flagrant disobedience of God and tagged the breakout as punishment for less than ideal behavior. Yari in a Hausa interview said:

“What we used to know as far as meningitis is concerned is the Type A virus. The World Health Organisation has carried out vaccinations against the 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 the 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.”

Kudos to Yari for being the latest Nigerian politician to remind us of the characters we have in our various governments.
