Chief Sharafadeen Alli, the gubernatorial candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) in the 2019 general elections in Oyo State has joined other great Nigerians to pray for quick recovery for former Governor of the State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi who is currently receiving treatment over an undisclosed ailment.
Alli, said “the former Governor should be remembered in our prayers.
“We must collectively stay safe and observe all regulations prescribed by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and other stakeholders during this ongoing global pandemic,” Alli said.
He also warned the Governor of the state, Engr Seyi Makinde to tarry and seek professional advice before considering reopening of Schools, religious organisations and government offices.
Alli said opening schools, government offices, churches and mosques at this critical time is dangerous and attempt to risk the lives of the good people of the state when the number of coronavirus victims is increasing on daily basis.
He wondered what necessitated the impatience on school reopening especially when examination coordinating bodies (WAEC and NECO) are not in a hurry to commence the exercise.
Alli, in a statement he personally signed in Ibadan on Thursday pointed out that Nigerians were taken aback and marveled when the Oyo state government announced its readiness to reopen schools and religious organisations in a few days time when other states are still putting heads together on how to find a lasting solution to the ravaging pandemic.
According to the former secretary to the Oyo state government, “this decision is unguarded, untimely and insensitive at the time the whole world is battling to find a lasting solution to the issue of COVID-19.
