The scourge of COVID-19 has disrupted the birthday celebration of the First Lady of Osun State, Alhaja Kafayat Oyetola.
Oyetola who turns 60 tomorrow, April 2, is forced to cancel her celebration.
The birthday celebration had been long anticipated by Osun based socialites as the ‘Party of the Year’ considering the significance of the diamond age and the position she holds in the State.
According to a source, the Wife of the Governor has no choice than to outrightly cancel any planned celebration considering the lockdown order put in place by her husband, Governor Gboyega Oyetola, for the containment of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Government of Osun yesterday acknowledged the confirmation of three new COVID-19 cases in the State which brings the total number of cases for the state to five.
However, Nigeria currently has 139 cases with contact tracing ongoing for over 10,000 people.
In a brief chat with our correspondent, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Osun State, Hon. Sunday Akere, said “this period calls for sober reflection and in tandem with the global mood and the pandemic ravaging the land, the First Lady as a caring mother and role model will want all citizens to adhere to all laid down rules and regulations. Maintain Social distance, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds regularly, use face mask when in a crowded place and hand sanitizer.”
“We’re proud of her efforts in making Osun a better place and also the mental support she gives to our amiable Governor, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola. I pray that the Almighty continue to protect and strengthen her, I look forward to a double celebration next year.”
