Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Thursday said his government had a ‘lapse in judgment’ after a rally held on Wednesday in the middle of the coronavirus outbreak in the country.
On Wednesday, Makinde was part of a mega rally held by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ibadan.
The Lagos state government had confirmed five new cases of the deadly coronavirus that same day, leading the state to ban gatherings of more than 50 persons.
“Between yesterday and today, a lot has come to light in Nigeria regarding COVID-19, also known as the Coronavirus Disease, which has been ravaging the world for the past few months,” Makinde said in a tweet.
