Governor Kayode Fayemi, the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, has implored the governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello to be wary of his utterances; following his recent statement suggesting that the COVID-19 vaccines are being introduced to kill the masses.
1st News had reported that Governor Bello had in a recent address said that the COVID-19 vaccines being produced in less than one year are used to introduce new diseases that will kill many.
In his response, Governor Fayemi appealed to his Kogi counterpart; urging him not to risk the lives of the citizens.
The Ekiti State Governor who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday said; while the Kogi State Governor has a right to his reservations, the most appropriate to respond to a matter of such import is not to be dismissive.
Fayemi said the preponderance at the level of the Nigerian Governors Forum believes that COVID-19 is real; adding that there is a need to respond to the challenges that have emanated from the pandemic.
The governor who says COVID-19 is not just a health issue said it behooves public office holders; to work in concert with the Federal Government; to get to the bottom of the problem which is not peculiar to Nigeria.
