Zamfara State Governor, Dr. Abdulaziz
Yari Abubakar, yesterday, denied attributing the outbreak of the deadly
Cerebral Spinal Meningitis, CSM, to God’s punishment arising from fornication
and other forms of disobedience to God.

the governor said he actually lamented the paucity of appropriate vaccines to
confront the outbreak of the fatal disease in his state and called for urgent
assistance from relevant government agencies to contain the ailment.
According to Vanguard, the governor, who spoke through
his Special Adviser on Media and Public Enlightenment, Mr. Ibrahim Magaji
Dosara, pointed out that he merely asked Nigerians to move closer to God and
plead for his mercy to avert further infectious diseases and other health
crises in the state and Nigeria since God has answers to all challenges.

The statement said:
“The governor noted that the
situation was unfortunate because the state does not have enough vaccines yet
for the Type C Meningitis. “The governor, thereafter, enjoined all Nigerians to
embrace prayers, as God who is aware of the outbreak of the ailment surely has
antidote for it. “The governor specially appealed to Nigerians to make
deliberate effort to be closer to God by shunning sins of fornication and other
forms of disobedience so as to receive his divine health and other blessings,
as he is closer to those who obey him and distant themselves from sins.”
