Amid significant increase in recorded cases of COVID-19 in the country, a trend that indicates the second wave of the novel virus has began, Oyo State governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde has been missing in action.

According to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control,  Oyo State recorded 28 cases of Wednesday and 56 on Thursday respectively.

These cases, just like the rising cases in the country over the last few days, has forced the government at various levels in the country to start taking precautions to curtail the spread of the virus. This informed the decision of the Federal government to issue a new COVID-19 advisory to all states.

This advisory, among other things, called for the closure of schools for the next five weeks and ban of gathering over 50 people.

However, rather than prepare a guide on how the state can prevent the likely spread of the virus, the governor attended a birthday party organised at for him at Saki.

The state government had also been silent on a new guidelines of how it plans to prevent the spread of the virus as the second wave hits the country.

Earlier on Thursday, Makinde has, in his Christmas message to residents of the state, called for a strict adherence to COVID-19 guidelines despite having failed to comply himself.

“Some of such daunting challenges include the COVID-19-induced recession and the pandemic itself, which experts said has entered its second wave.

“Let me also use this opportunity to warn everyone as they go about celebrating Christmas; please continue to adhere strictly to the COVID-19 guidelines and continue to #OwnYourAction,” Makinde said.
