• Asks the affluent in the society to support the weak, others

Mr Eyitayo Jegede, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, and governorship Aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, on Sunday, told Ondo State residents to adhere strictly to all the precautionary measures outlined by healthcare professionals to keep themselves safe and prevent the spread of Coronavirus pandemic in Ondo State.

In a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen in Akure, Ondo State Capital, Jegede said the only way to stay safe from COVID-19 is to embark on self isolation and avoid crowded places.

“Now that Ondo State has recorded an index case of the dreaded COVID-19, I again consider it imperative to reiterate that we all adhere strictly to the directive of the state government to stay at home.”

“We must adhere to all precautionary measures outlined by healthcare professionals to enable us stay free from this disease. We must also embark on self- isolation and avoid crowded places” he said.

He, however, appealed to the affluent in the society to support the weak, the widow, and other less privileged citizens who are vulnerable at this critical time of stay-at-home order by the government.

“Those that will feel the negative effect of this sit-at-home order are the physically challenged, widows and the less privileged in our society. Therefore, I appeal to the affluent in the society to support the weak, the widow, and other less privileged citizens who are vulnerable at this critical time ,” he added.
