The Ogun State Government has been urged to be more vigilant on  people reported to be infected with the coronavirus, but hiding their status for public to know, and engaged in secret treatment.

Penpushing reports that this was known in a letter titled “Letter of Appeal to The Governor on the rich Suspected COVID-19 victims who are hiding their status in the State” which was signed by the Ogun State Chairman, Labour Party (LP), Comrade Arabambi Abayomi, and made available to journalists on Monday.

The Chairman, said this call became necessary to avoid spread of the virus,pointing out that to be afflicted with coronavirus is not a death sentence, stressing that the primary aim of the government should be how to reduce the spread, more so as a result of some big-manism.

“It is widely know that Hon. Ladi Adebutu has done COVID-19 test at LUTH in Lagos,  through information obtained from his aides and that has since gone viral on social media, but rather than disclose the result of his, he rather opted for a home-treatment and secrecy’, Arabambi wrote.

“The danger here is that, Hon. Ladi Adebutu has lots of domestic staff, security details, friends and family who may be endangered by the secrecy and the hidden COVID-19 status of Hon. Ladi Adebutu, who in the last few days been in a meeting with Engr. Bayo Dayo, the suspended ex-Chairman of PDP, who unfortunately appears on OGTV yesterday and Alhaji Semiu Sodipo also”.

The Labour Party Chairman, further wrote that Adebutu who was at the Ibadan Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) unification rallies, may increase spread of the virus within the State, where top notchers including  Governor Seyi Makinde, might have gotten it.

“Again, it is a fact that Hon. Ladi Adebutu, and host of his political aides and security personnel were at the highly suspected Ibadan PDP Unification Rallies that increased the spread of the virus in Ibadan from where many top-notchers to have got in contact with the virus including Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State”

Penpushing further reports that Arabambi appealed to Governor Abiodun to ensure that towards the efforts of curtailing the spread of the virus in the state, process of its containment should be holistic and not be stopped by anyone’s social status.

“My very strong and hard appeal to the Governor is that it should be noted that in the effort at reducing the spread of the virus to avoid the experiences of countries like USA and Italy, the process of containment should be holistic’.

“Not in anyway encumbered by anyone’s social status as the denial and counter denial of over 700 death recorded in Kano State Nigeria is still very much fresh in the public”

The party’s helmsman, however suggested that  Adebutu should be advise to disclose his status, and his aides and other security personnel to also have the test and face quarantine immediately to observe isolation.

“Finally, I very much strongly suggest that Hon. Ladi Adebutu should be advise or compel to disclose his status immediately, while his following aides: Alhaji Semiu Sodipo, Engr Bayo Dayo, Prince Lekan Tejuosho, Ashaye Barbington Deji, Ajomale Lukman, Leye Odunjo, Hon. Daisi Akintan, Elder Akinhanmi, Adeleye Lukman, Solomon Abiodun Salami, Asiwaju Bankole Akinloye, Hassan Odewunmi, Waliu Olawale Oladipupo, Prince Olatoye Osungboye and all known security personnel attached to him should be made to do the test and face quarantine immediately to observed compulsory isolation”.

Penpushing also reports, that the controversial Labour Party (LP) chieftain, stressed that there are needs to avoid any situation that will destroy the works of the government which have been appraised by the World Health Organisation(WHO) and National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)

.

“Above is in view of the need to avoid any situation that can rubbish the great job of the Government on the Coronavirus containment in the state and that was attested to by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)”,he stated
