A group of young Nigerians, GYB2PYB has come out to blast Kayode Fayemi’s comments over Yahaya Bello’s claim on COVID-19 vaccine.

Recall that The Governors’ forum recently revealed that Governor Bello is entitled to his opinion over the reality or otherwise of the COVID-19 pandemic and the purpose of the vaccines, but he cannot be allowed to risk the lives of the citizens of his state.

Reacting, the GYB2PYB, via a statement signed by its Director-General, Amb Oladele Nihi, said that Kayode Fayemi does not have the political will to speak on behalf of the Presidential Task Force (PTF), and he should stop playing politics under the guise of NGF.

The group added that Governor Yahaya Bello is surely on course, and his resonating message will definitely ensure that detractors will fail.

His words, “It would have been more honourable for Fayemi to come out and attack GYB than hiding under the garb of the Governors’ forum. His Excellency is on course, his message is resonating and detractors will fail,”

“GYB did not speak on behalf of the Governors’ forum, Governors’ forum is not the spokesperson of the PTF.”

“So, the Governors’ forum attacking GYB’s message to the Nigerian public is a misnomer and done in bad taste.”

Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that can be mild, such as some cases of the common cold (among other possible causes, predominantly rhinoviruses), and others that can be lethal, such as SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. Symptoms in other species vary: in chickens, they cause an upper respiratory tract disease, while in cows and pigs they cause diarrhea. There are yet to be vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human coronavirus infections.

Coronaviruses constitute the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae, in the family Coronaviridae, order Nidovirales, and realm Riboviria. They are enveloped viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome and a nucleocapsid of helical symmetry. The genome size of coronaviruses ranges from approximately 27 to 34 kilobases, the largest among known RNA viruses. The name coronavirus is derived from the Latin corona, meaning “crown” or “halo”, which refers to the characteristic appearance reminiscent of a crown or a solar corona around the virions (virus particles) when viewed under two-dimensional transmission electron microscopy, due to the surface covering in club-shaped protein spikes.

Human coronaviruses were first discovered in the late 1960s. The earliest ones discovered were an infectious bronchitis virus in chickens and two in human patients with the common cold (later named human coronavirus 229E and human coronavirus OC43). Other members of this family have since been identified, including SARS-CoV in 2003, HCoV NL63 in 2004, HKU1 in 2005, MERS-CoV in 2012, and SARS-CoV-2 (formerly known as 2019-nCoV) in 2019. Most of these have involved serious respiratory tract infections.
