EASTER: Don’t Lose Hope, There Is Light At The End Of The Tunnel – Lanlehin Charges Nigerians

-

The gubernatorial candidate of the Action Democratic Congress in the 2019 general election in Oyo State, Senator Olufemi Lanlehin, has charged Nigerians, particularly Christians, not to lose hope as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic raging the world because there is light at the end of the tunnel.

SOLAN, as he fondly called by his supporters, who disclosed this in a statement signed by his media bureau, also enjoined Christians to take solace in the fact that Easter, which represents the victory of Christ over death, is enough testimony that the world will overcome this scourge, in the shortest possible time, and regain victory over this mortal foe.

He stressed further that even though COVID-19 has no known cure or vaccine yet, Nigerians need to maintain standard personal hygiene, which includes regular washing of hands with soap and water, or alcohol-based hand sanitizer, covering of nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or flexed elbow when coughing or sneezing, as well as social distancing, embodied in the avoidance of close contact with others, usually up to 1meter/3feet in public places, coupled with avoidance of large gatherings, which could foster community transmission;

Lanlehin, who once represented Oyo South senatorial district at the National Assembly, also emphasized the need for everyone to rally round government, both at the national and sub-national levels, as well as the health authorities, and health workers at the frontlines, to ensure Nigeria pulls off this raging debilitating health crisis in the nick of time.

He added that this pandemic would be a thing of the past in no distant time and that the world would be able to return to a life of peace, devoid of apprehension and fretting.
