Ondo State inter ministerial committee on COVID- 19 has described the statement credited to the State Chairman of the Christain Association of Nigeria (CAN), Reverend Ayo Oladapo that Christains should shun government’s directive on crossover night service as dangerously misleading.
The State Government in a statement issued by the Chairman of the committee, Prof Adesegun Fatusi, said such directive coming from CAN’s chairman is highly uncalled for.
He added that it is misleading for anyone in a position of leadership in the civil society, including religious leaders to openly call on citizens to disobey government’s public health orders.
He said the action of Reverend Oladapo will put the health of the people at risk.
The statement added, “The evening and night of December 31st marks the end of the year for all people and not for any religious group and in the face of the threat of the second wave of COVID-19 in Nigeria, all individuals and groups – whatever their religious leaning may be – have a duty to celebrate the events marking the entry into a new year sensibly, responsibly and safely to ensure that they do not put the health of other citizens at risk.
