President Muhammadu Buhari has said religious leaders,
musicians and sports personalities should be asked to take the COVID-19 vaccine
on national television.
Buhari explained that Nigerians will believe in the potency
of the vaccine when people like Chief Imams, Bishops, musicians and sports
personalities are made to take the vaccine on national television.
This was disclosed by the Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode
Fayemi after a meeting with Buhari at the State House.
According to Fayemi: “But the good thing is, Mr. President
has agreed with me that he would convey to the PTF the necessity of using other
influencers, maybe the Chief Imams, the Bishops, top musicians, our sports
personalities. Because, the more of such people are seen taking the vaccines
the more the likelihood of resistance will break down in our various
localities. So, we discussed that.”
Recall that the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19 had said
the President, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, the Secretary to the Government of
the Federation, Boss Mustapha and other imminent Nigerians would take the
vaccine on National Television.
The PTF had said the strategy would help in creating
awareness.
