DONATE A MONTH SALARY TO TACKLE
COVID-19 IN OSUN STATE – GROUP TELLS OSUN LAWMAKERS
The Union of
Democratic Forces in Osun State has called on the Osun State House of Assembly
members to donate one month of their salary to cushion the effect of
coronavirus (COVID-19) on Osun residents.
Wole Adedoyin,
the Coordinator of the group made this known through a press statement issued
in Ilesa on Monday.
According to
the Statement, “As the government was the first to mobilise with bold measures
against the pandemic, so our state’s political world must stand at the
forefront of solidarity. We are all equal in the face of this health threat.
But in the battle against it, everyone has to offer according to their own
strengths. We therefore enjoined our elected Osun house of assembly lawmakers
to support the government of Governor Gboyega Oyetola with a month salary.
These citizens elected them, they are in the assembly to represent them,
without them they would be no where making law”.
As at today,
Monday, 6th of April, 2020, Osun ranks third among the states with confirmed
cases of Covid-19 with 20 confirmed cases out of the 232 confirmed cases in
Nigeria as released by the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC).
UDF however
lauded their efforts in giving food and relief materials to members of their
constituencies but reiterated the need for them to donate their one month
salary to assist the Governor in the fight against the pandemic virus in the
state.
