Fasasi Raheem Ajibola FM has enjoined the state's residents to comply strictly with Governor Seyi Makinde's directives on partial lockdown, so as to curtail, contain and prevent the further spread of pernicious disease.

FM in a chat with Khalid Imran, Editor Naija Today News in his Office at Molete, Iseyin said that it became imperative and necessary for the people of Oyo State to comply strictly with state government's directives on partial lockdown aimed at containing and curtailing the further spread of coronavirus pandemic in Oyo State and Nigeria at large.

In his furtherance, FM disclosed that Covid-19 is real, considering the ways it spreads and kills victims across the globe, adding that its contraction would be prevented, provided people take to precautionary and hygienic measures.

On palliative measures to cushion the effects of lockdown in the state, FM said that Governor Seyi Makinde had been working round the clock and tirelessly on how the palliatives would be provided and made available to the people of the state, adding that as soon as Federal Government and Makinde roll out the relief materials, he would not hesitate to make the palliatives' distribution across the nooks and crannies of his official jurisdiction and beyond.

FM called on all and sundry regardless of political interest, religious beliefs and racial discrimination among others to rise collectively and mutually on how the contagious and killer disease would become menace of the past in Oyo State and Nigeria at large.
