A former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri has warned that the situation in Kano State is a sign that Coronavirus should not be politicized.
In the past few days, Kano allegedly recorded death of over 600 people including twenty prominent persons which has stired controversies online.
Reports on Saturday had it that twenty prominent residents had dropped dead in the state within the last 24 hours.
It was gathered that while some had Coronavirus symptoms, there are speculations that some died of meningitis, but residents and government are yet to explain the real cause.
Reacting, Omokri called out Africans who criticized Melinda Gates for “seeing dead bodies all over African Streets due to the Coronavirus outbreak.”
He wrote on his Twitter page:
“What is happening in Kano is a proof that we should not politicize Coronavirus.
“I was saddened by the ingratitude of some Africans who castigated Bill Gates and Melinda Gates over their warnings. Is Kano a manifestation of what they warned us about?
It would be recalled that Melinda Gates, wife of the billionaire businessman made the statement in an interview with CNN, adding that Africa may not be able to handle a Coronavirus situation as it was in Wuhan, China.
