The Arole Oduduwa & Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan
Ogunwusi Ojaja II has urged Nigerians to stay at home as they obey all
principles laid down by Federal and State Governments in a bid to curb spread
of the global Coronavirus pandemic. He stressed, “the earlier the citizens
believe in the abilities of the government to secure them during this
challenging period the better for the entire country”.
The Ooni further stated that Nigerians must look beyond the
current negativity attached and look at the lessons embedded in this
challenging period of our lives. Coronavirus teaches high personal hygiene, let
us be clean and embrace regular hand washing with clean water and soap.
“While staying at home, let us maintain a high level of
decency and avoid rumor peddling because panic kills faster than the virus
itself. We now have several fake news flying across, let us act responsibly by
not instilling fear in one another and it shall be well with us.” The Ooni
stated.
Earlier in a statement signed by his Director of Media and
Public Affairs, Comrade Moses Olafare, the Ooni who is the Co-Chairman of the
National Council of Traditional Rulers has restricted movement in and out of the
palace, saying only visitors with
essential mission will be allowed.
