Yari disagrees with Emir Sanusi, says meningitis has a spiritual connection

Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara state yesterday
responded to the comments made by Emir Sanusi,
insisting that the comments were half-truth.
He maintained that the outbreak of the disease indeed
has a spiritual connection.
“I stand by my words that if people do not change, God
will not change for them. Therefore, I will answer the
Emir perfectly and give him the Quran content of the
Hadith where I belong to and where I have my fact.
“For instance, I made mention that in the past we have
Type A, which vaccines have been brought and they have
vaccinated over four million doses in 2011.
“We are now having Type B and Type C which they don’t
even know. At the Centre for Disease Control in Chicago
where we get our vaccines from, they only have five
million,” he said.
Recall that the Emir of Kano had on Wednesday, at the
opening of the Kaduna State Economic and Investment
Summit, criticised the statement credited to the
Zamfara State Governor on meningitis, saying they were
horrendous and “Islamically incorrect”.
