Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state has come out to apologize for holding PDP rally amidst coronavirus outbreak in the country. In a statement on his official Twitter account the governor apologised to the public and said he will do everything in his power to protect the people in the state.
“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.
“We do not currently have any confirmed case of coronavirus in Oyo State; (yet,) we still all need to be more proactive.” Makinde said the state government would set up the Oyo State COVID-19 Task Force led by himself and it would hold its first meeting on 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,” he added.
