He came to me and said, look, I am going to send you this black seed oil, it boosts immunity. So I mixed it with honey and took one in the morning and in the evening. So, there are local solutions to boost immunity. Our people should not fret. Just as I have been able to get the virus out of my system, so will it be for of our people,”

He went on to say: “I have lost a little bit of weight which I think is good. When you are in isolation, the tendency is just to watch television and eat, I was eating amala.

‘But I was also using the treadmill. It has also been a period to reflect and look at the , policies and the things we want to do for the people of Oyo state and also reflect on how the COVID-19 is going to affect us socially and economically,”
