Against the backdrop of the 14 days lockdown of the State of Osun by Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, the Speaker of Osun House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Timothy Owoeye has appealed to residents and citizens of the state to abide by the provisions of the lockdown order.
The Speaker stated that the 14 days extension of the lockdown to contain the spread of COVID-19 pandemic must not be seen as government insensitivity to the plight of the masses, saying that it is better to stay at home for 14 days than being bedridden for 14 years.
He said, “The state will be going into another round of lockdown, I want to appeal to our people to abide by the rules and regulations guiding the lockdown, government might have seen what the populace have not seen, it may not be on the numbers of people who have contracted the virus, but adequately containing the spread in our communities.
“The lockdown will start tomorrow, we should all have it at the back of our minds that government is not using the lockdown order to punish people of the state, if we strictly adhere to precautionary measures, we will come out of the situation alive and stronger”.
