COVID-19: Activist chides Gov. Yahaya Bello, over anti-vaccine statement

...Volunteers to teach him Science free

A journalist advocating for Government Accountability, Justice and Human Right, Comrade Jumu’ah Abiodun, has taken Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello to the cleaners over his stand on COVID-19 vaccine, saying, “he knows nothing about science.”

Abiodun hinged his displeasure for Governor Yahaya Bello’s discouraging attitude towards the use of COVID-19 vaccine the Federal Government is intensifying efforts to procure for the Nigerian people.

The activist quoted Yahaya Bello as saying: “Vaccines are being produced in less than one year of COVID-19. There is no vaccine yet for HIV, malaria, cancer, headache and for several other diseases that are killing us. They want to use the (COVID-19) vaccines to introduce the disease that will kill you and us. God forbid.

“If they say they are taking the vaccines in the public, allow them take their vaccines. Don’t say I said you should not take it but if you want to take it, open your eyes before you take the vaccines.”

The right crusader faulted Bello’s comment on the monster through his Twitter handle, describing him as somebody ignorant about Science.

Abiodun tweeted further, “To be sincere, I still don’t understand why a leader, a governor for that matter would hold a microphone at a public function and say such erroneous, unguided statement on the pandemic that has killed more than 1,400 people in Nigeria and over 2 million globally in less than eleven months.

“With due respect, Governor Yahaya Bello needs to be educated on the pandemic ravaging the whole world, most especially from some of us that survived the novel virus. I am ready to offer my services for him and his cabinet, to give them a tutorial on the pandemic.

“It took Mallam Bello, his cabinet and his rubber stamp Assembly months to admit a single case of COVID-19 in their state last year, despite NCDC confirmed numerous cases earlier in The Confluence State,” Abiodun wondered aloud.

Concluding, the right activist expressed the delight that, the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), has also dissociated itself from the unguided statement by Governor Bello about coronavirus conspiracy theories.

The Forum totally and categorically dissociated itself from the statement, emphasising that the Forum will continue to be informed and guided by science and will ensure that every decision it takes retains public and professional trust and is not compromised by conflicts of interests.”
