Stop wondering because 'God's Power' is upon Africans - Fani-Kayode replies Bill Gate

Former minister of aviation and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has responded to Bill Gates, a co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), for saying he wondered why Covid-19 cases are not high in Africa.

Gates had said last weekend that the world still does not have enough data to understand why COVID-19 numbers have not been as high as predicted in Africa.

 

 

He however, said he is happy to have been wrong about the COVID-19 rates in Africa.

“One thing I’m happy to have been wrong about—at least, I hope I was wrong—is my fear that COVID-19 would run rampant in low-income countries,” he wrote in his end of the year note .

 

“So far, this hasn’t been true. In most of sub-Saharan Africa, for example, case rates and death rates remain much lower than in the U.S. or Europe and on par with New Zealand, which has received so much attention for its handling of the virus.

 

“The hardest-hit country on the continent is South Africa—but even there, the case rate is 40 percent lower than in the U.S., and the death rate is nearly 50 percent lower.”

 

But reacting in a tweet on Sunday, Fani-Kayode said the Power of God is the reason why Covid-19 cases are not high in Africa.

He said, "We still don't understand why COVID-19 numbers aren’t as high in Africa"- Bill Gates. 

It is called the power of God!"
