This man lacks deep thinking or does this implies that all Oyo state residents are already infected or sick Because from a professional point of views and recommendations from WHO and CDC only medical personnel and sick people should be wearing face masks!!

Thinking faculty that doesn’t know the preventive measures to take not to contract the virus.

Governor Seyi Makinde is still the best governor who have his people at heart may God grant you quick recovery our prayers & thoughts are with you Mr Governor

ValCon888:
What most people don't understand is that social distancing is a privilege. Let me give you my reasons:

1. Most poor people live together in small rooms where it's impossible to isolate yourself.
2. Most poor people do not have access to running water.
3. Most poor people cannot afford to buy hand sanitizers or health masks.
4. Most poor people need to go out to find something to eat and will die of hunger in a lockdown.

It is easy to say "social distancing" but for most of the poor, it's impossible to practice it.

See governor wey him thinking faculty get departments wey dey study;humanity 101,conscience 111,love 221 and consideration 301....always putting the people first,that is wat true governance is.

Lostz:


at least the governor is thinking about the mass.


If we have to talk about States cases , Lagos should be the worst

Kuginzi:

Thinking my foot. Stop comparing Lagos State with Oyo State. Is Lagos State the only state we have in Nigeria? They are 2 separate states. The Governor has already failed to protect his people from contacting the Virus. And if care is not taken, Dozens will be affected by COVID-19 in Oyo state. I HATE PEOPLE WITH EYE SERVICE!!

Eecho:
That man gives no fuuuck about APC and their blind policies ... Nah person wey dey consider the poor ..Nice one

rexwalters:
When wahala blow, please let him not run to our Federal Government with desperate plea for help, he can do whatever he likes in his state, he is the Governor it is his prerogative, but in reality us in Lagos, Abuja, and the Big Heart State, do not really give a fcukery about what happens in backward Oyo State, what does the State add to Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Production? Absolutely Nothing.

rexwalters:
Hiding from the truth, and misinformation does not change the fact, who brought covid to Nigeria, is there any Italian that works for the Federal Government? Go and ask your sister state Ogun, about the condition of the Italian consultant for La Farge Cement, and how life is after his recovery from the SARS virus?

Useless Governor he should enjoy his 1 & last term in office, you claim thinking of the masses?, then he goes out and holds a political rally and catches the virus from his fellow pdp stalwarts, I.e. the atiku’s?

Lostz:
Lagos is the state with most cases.
Lagos governor failed more

salusworth:
Personally, I am disappointed in the way Seyi Makinde is going about this.
Claiming to enact a law to force people to use face masks if they must go out.
Will this so called law take care of careless handling and disposal of these masks?
Will this law address social distancing?
I detest the fact that he's allowing politics blind him from the realities on ground.
This is a pandemic, not some partisan idea.

afroniger:


Enough of the false hype. Time is fast running out so he needs to come up with a definite plan. As we speak the state is operating as if there's no governor in place. Life's still going on as if there's no coronavirus, perhaps the ONLY state in Nigeria that is still doing that even when states like Anambra that don't have a single case are being more proactive. If he truly put the people first as you claim he wouldn't have held that infamous rally against better judgement. This sycophancy of the governor needs to end if he's to make progress. He needs to act NOW, enough talk please.

laurel03:
media sense.. Most of you outside Oyo should always ask for images of GSM projects.. Especially not anything Ajimobi almost done finished before he left. I am Anti Ajimobi but Seyi is still performing below reasonable people expectations in Oyo state forget media and polongo system of government seyi still Audio Governor.

Kuginzi:

No one is disputing that. The Duo (Lagos and Oyo) state Governors have failed to protect their citizens. Pls don't support any Governor who fails to protect his people against this pandemic. DON'T TRUST ANY POLITICIAN!!

Oyo State governor, Engr Seyi Makinde has said that the state doesn't need to go the Lagos, Ogun, Osun and Ekiti way on total lockdown before the spread of coronavirus can be curbed.

Makinde said during a phone call conversation to a popular radio station in Ibadan on Tuesday.

The governor who reiterated that everything that can be done to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in Oyo State is on the table, that the government will continue to assess the situation and take additional measures where necessary.

Quoting the governor verbatim, he said "Yes, Lagos can be on lockdown, Ogun can be on lockdown, Oyo State, yes, people have been saying have a total lockdown and then I have been asking them questions. What will be the benefits here? Are there alternative courses of action for us to take? If you ask people not to come out, you lock down the market places, there are people who what they sell today - the profit from today’s activities is what they will eat tomorrow. There are plenty of people like that within our environment. So, are there alternatives available to us? Can we do selective lockdowns? That’s why I imposed the curfew.

"I think, everything is on the table but it has to follow a logical pattern and it will need the input of experts. We are not just going to lockdown because everyone is looking down.

"I have been watching CNN and the most successful place right now in containing this is the Czech Republic. And one of the things they brought out is that they made a law that if you must leave your house, you must wear a mask. It may be that route for us to go. I have asked them to start evaluating that. If we must make that law and say everybody that must go out must wear a mask, then, how about those who cannot afford it. Can we make masks locally? Can we get our artisans and our tailors to commit to that with the government supporting? So, those are the type of solutions we are looking for."

U don't even understand d situation. Czech republic way. Oyo state people would start borrowing masks now like borrowing salt from neighbour. U need to understand ur environment b4 making laws. Not copying from another environment with entirely different orientation and culture

This was d same man that launched nylon cover for bike riders calling it innovation whilst some came online to praise d move.

Same person that appointed an SA who's now fixing bill boards across d state capital showing off he's now an SA.
Abi, with his 50b declared networth, can't he personally help feed d poor during lockdown and call billionaires like him in d state instead of allowing people to move around with just masks.
I won't blame him, he has a team he gives instructions to rather than a team that can come up with ideas running d state.
