The sacked Local Government Chairmen, under the aegis of Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON), on Tuesday joined the list of well-wishers praying for quick recovery for Governor Seyi Makinde.
The Chairman of the group, Prince Abass-Aleshinloye, in a statement, said instead of trading blames as to the cause(s) or venue(s) of the infection afflicting the governor, people should concentrate more on how to combat Coronavirus, which has become a common enemy and a grave danger to humanity and global economy.
The statement titled, “Get well quick, Your Excellency, Engr Seyi Makinde” added that a lesson to learn now is to be one’s brother’s keeper in togetherness and common objective, which is to see a COVID-19 free Oyo State, Nigeria and the entire world.
“ALGON Oyo State prays for the quick recovery of Governor Seyi Makinde as he undergoes treatment for COVID-19 in an isolation centre.
“Instead of trading blames as to the cause (s) or venue (s) of the infection afflicting the governor, we should concentrate more on how to combat Coronavirus, our common enemy that has now become a real danger to humanity and its health and economic prosperity globally.
“Coronavirus disease knows no frontier, no class, no political party, religion or ethnic origin, so we must unite for its containment and cure because no one is safe inasmuch as the dangerous virus is still in anyone’s cell.
“A lesson to learn now is to be our brother’s keeper in togetherness and common objective, which is to see a COVID-19 free Oyo State, Nigeria and the entire world.”
On Monday, Governor announced that he tested positive for the novel COVID-19 and under self isolation.
