Nigeria’s Health Minister, Prof. Isaac Adewole, has denied blaming former President, Goodluck Jonathan for the re-emergence of Lassa fever in the country.
“The report is a mischief. If you watched my interview on Channels TV, I said all of us, including myself, as Nigerians, should be blamed,” he said according to PUNCH.
“The word or name, (Goodluck) Jonathan, did not even come up in any of my discussions. So, I wonder how and where the news medium came by that report. Please, I beg you; I didn’t indict (ex-President Goodluck) Jonathan and never referred to Jonathan.” he added.
