Coronavirus: Oyo can't be on total lockdown because of poverty - Governor Makinde - Edoman - 04-02-2020 Coronavirus: Oyo can't be on total lockdown because of poverty - Governor Makinde Governor Seyi Makinde has revealed why Oyo State can't go on total lockdown over Coronavirus, days after President Buhari issued an order which restricted movement in Abuja, Ogun and Lagos. The Oyo state Governor who tested positive for the virus, said he opted for a curfew instead of a total lockdown due to the high rate of poverty in the state. He stated that a curfew will enable residents carry out their daily activities and earn daily incomes amid the outbreak of Coronavirus in the state. Speaking on a Fresh FM programme, Governor Makinde said; Quote:“My own background is engineering and I kept saying to people that as an engineer, you take decisions that are based on logic and fact. It’s an uncharted territory. We kept on interacting with the experts to find out what are the facts emerging. Governor Makinde further disclosed that he would follow the steps of some foreign countries that have successfully contained the virus. He added; Quote:“I have been watching CNN and the most successful place right now in containing this is the Czech Republic. And one of the things they brought out is that they made a law that if you must leave your house, you must wear a mask. |
