NGF Disowns Yahaya Bello over COVID-19 Vaccine Death Claims.
The Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello faced a lot of criticisms about COVID-19 vaccines, most recent from the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) also distanced itself from the claims credited to the Governor.
A communique issued by the governors at the end of their meeting which held virtually on Wednesday, (but made public on Thursday), rejected claims by Bello that the COVID-19 vaccines are meant to kill Nigerians.
Recall, earlier reported by Gistlover that the Governor was seen in a video widely circulating on Facebook, discouraging a crowd of supporters from taking the vaccines.
“…They want to use the (COVID-19) vaccines to introduce the disease that will kill you and us. God forbid!” Mr Bello said.
“These vaccines are being produced in less than one year of COVID-19. There is no vaccine yet for HIV, malaria, cancer and for several diseases that are killing us… We should draw our minds back to what happened in Kano during the polio vaccines that crippled and killed our children. We have learned our lessons.
“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,” Yahaya Bello said.
However, the NGF have dissociated themselves from his claims about the COVID-19 vaccines.
The NGF statement reads partially;
“On the ill-fated pronouncement made by a member of the forum regarding the Covid-19 vaccine in a national daily, the forum totally and categorically dissociated itself from the statement.”
The NGF added that it “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 interest.”
