Oyo APC Lauds FG’s Intervention On COVID-19

Oyo State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has lauded the federal government for taking decisive action to ameliorate the effect of COVID-19 on Nigerians.
Chief Akin Oke, the state APC chairman said this in statement in Ibadan, yesterday.
Oke said that President Muhammadu Buhari should be commended for the action taken so far to contain the spread of the virus in the country, in spite of the nation’s scarce resources.
He attributed the relative containment of the spread of the virus in the country to the proactive measures put in place by the federal and state governments.
“COVID-19 took the whole world by storm and has claimed several thousands of lives in super power nations such as China, US, UK, Spain and Italy.
“And Nigeria has only a record of five deaths and less than 250 cases with 25 recoveries as at now, in spite of a huge population of about 200 million people,” he added.
Okey contended that as a member of the global community, it would have been extremely difficult for Nigeria to prevent the virus from entering the country.
“We are not disputing the fact that much is still needed to be done to align with the rest of the world in the quest to completely defeat coronavirus.
“It is on this premise that we call for more efforts from Oyo State Government under Gov. Seyi Makinde to raise its game and ensure that no stone is left unturned in the bid to protect the people of the state from the virus,” he stated.
