A former member of the House of Representatives, Hon Ladi
Adebutu, has recalled how his leg was affected by the deadly COVID-19.
Adebutu said the virus was the reason he has been limping
when walking.
The former lawmaker said this while addressing members of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on
Wednesday.
According to Adebutu, many people do not pay attention to
COVID-19 protocols because they do not believe it exists.
As a leader, he maintained that the people should be told
the truth about COVID-19, as he charged them to go for vaccination and stop the
spread of the virus.
“As your leader, brother and well-wisher, I must tell you
the truth. There is COVID-19, and vaccination is the priority.
“I have seen COVID. I had it. Stop saying there is no
COVID-19. I limp today because I had COVID. I didn’t limp before. I started
limping because of COVID-19.
“Everybody should get vaccinated. Once everybody is
vaccinated, we can gather anywhere for as long as we can,” he said.
About 57 persons have been killed by
coronavirus in Ogun State so far.
The Ogun State Commissioner for Health, Dr Tomi Coker, has
appealed to all Ogun residents to follow all non-pharmaceutical methods to stop
the spread of the disease.
