Statement by Governor Seyi Makinde on the COVID-19 Situation in Oyo State

My dear good people of Oyo State, it has become imperative to communicate directly about the COVID-19 situation in the state, and the measures that the Oyo State Government is taking to ensure the prevention, containment and control of this disease.

Between yesterday and today, a lot has come to light in Nigeria regarding COVID-19, also known as the Coronavirus Disease, which has been ravaging the world for the past few months.

At a point, some people thought we were immune to this disease. I know some among you may still hold that opinion. Although as stated by our Commissioner for Health, Dr Bashir Bello, at a press conference this morning, we do not currently have any confirmed case of Coronavirus in Oyo State; we still all need to be more proactive.

I have received your complaints about the rally that was held yesterday, and I feel obligated to state in clear terms that we acted based on the information we had at that time. In retrospect, it should not have happened and I take responsibility for that lapse in judgement.

On assuming office on May 29, 2019, I swore an oath to serve and protect you, I want to assure you that our administration is doing everything in our power and working with the agencies of the Federal Government, to take proactive measures to prevent the spread of this virus. I urge members of the public to not give in to any form of panic.

As a people, we can take several measures to beat this virus. It has been shown that maintaining proper hygiene through frequent washing of the hands, scrubbing for 20 seconds with soap and water, and the use of hand sanitizers that are 90% alcohol based, is a key way to prevent the spread of this disease. I implore all citizens to make these practices a routine and a priority. Social distancing is also highly encouraged.

Therefore, as at this moment, the Oyo State Government is doing the following:

Setting up the Oyo State COVID-19 Task Force led by me. This task force will be holding its first meeting tomorrow, Friday, March 20, 2020. Immediately after the meeting, I will hold a press conference and update you on all decisions reached and so far, implemented.

The Free Health Mission which was launched on Monday, March 16, 2020, will continue. The mission will be used as a vehicle for disseminating information about Coronavirus prevention and control.

However, anyone who has shown any known symptoms of COVID-19 such as dry cough, fever, nausea, severe headaches, difficulty breathing and tiredness should please, isolate themselves and call the following Oyo State Ministry of Health helplines:‬ ‪08038210122‬, ‪08023229267‬ or ‪08073431342.‬‬‬

Once again, I urge all citizens of Oyo State to remain calm and observe all preventive measures announced by the State and Federal Ministries of Health and their agencies.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
God bless Oyo State.

yeroba Muslims hardly move out of their coven so they think we yeroba Christians behave so.

real Omoluabis are industrious
come to main market here and visit yeroba line and see how real Omoluabis are working hard competing with igbos on their ground
and not sitting far in oshogbo working 24/7 just for 30k stipend per month like NGpatriot or at Tinubu's gate waiting for iresi aregbe
we are real Omoluabis
we work hard
God bless real Omoluabis

The guy Seyi needs 70 koboko. He says he will take responsibility. Is that means when there is index case he is ready to be infected n God forbid if the index case died he is ready to do the same.

Serious leader should knw when to play politics n how to do so.
Lagos, Ogun n Ekiti had cases of Covid-19 what stupid immunity n intellectual myopic will someone from Oyo state will claimed to have

No blame shifting. That's how you know a responsible person.

Anybody who never accepts responsibility for wrong done under his care is a bad manager and an irresponsible disaster.

This is what Management 101 will teach you.

Plz, Oyo people, can we switch?

You guys should take Buhari while Makinde should take Buhari's place.

Bikonu!

Go and kill him na........what have you said to the lifeless one that refused to close borders since.

This audio governor sure know how to play to the gallery

And no apology about the senseless rally?

When I advised Seyi not to get distracted the other time, Pdp supporters were saying otherwise thinking it was out of jealousy.

Hope he can slow down and avoid any distraction
