No Nigerian Child Will Be Infected With Polio Again, Says Buhari by dont8(m): 5:40pm On Jul 25, 2015

President Muhammadu Buhari


President Muhammadu Buhari declared Saturday in Abuja that his administration will do all within its powers to ensure that no Nigerian child is ever infected with polio again.

Speaking at a brief event in the Presidential Villa to mark Nigeria’s successful completion of one year without any reported case of the wild polio virus, President Buhari pledged that the Federal Government will mobilize and deploy all necessary resources to efficiently complete the task of eradicating polio from the country.

“Today, 25th of July, 2015, Nigeria has successfully completed one year without any case reported of the wild polio virus.

“Achieving this feat has placed us firmly on the path to eradicating this paralyzing disease from our land.

“I seize this opportunity to call on Governors, our traditional and religious leaders, the private sector and our mothers and fathers to redouble their efforts to ensure that every child and every new born baby is vaccinated with the polio vaccine and other life saving routine vaccines,” President Buhari said.

The President personally vaccinated one of his grandchildren against polio at the occasion to demonstrate his commitment to eradicating the virus from Nigeria as well as the safety and efficacy of the polio vaccine.

President Buhari thanked all Nigerians and foreign partners who have support the country’s polio eradication programme in several ways.

He said that he looked forward to the formal declaration of Nigeria as a polio-free country in 2017.

And we know who the credit goes to. When some people were killed few years ago for distributing polio vaccine some of your misguided brothers killed them. We expected people like you to come out and speak against them but as usual what you do is go into relegation after elections when people must have died based on some of your utterances and still someone will tell me you love this country and you are not tribalistic. The only place I here or read that you granted interview those days was the hausa speaking program on radio kaduna. Thank God you now in charge, I hope you treat us the way GEJ treated your people.
