Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, has disclosed what he did in isolation in order to become negative of the coronavirus.
The governor had announced that he was positive of the disease and went into isolation. He got all-clear and announced he had become negative on Sunday night.
But speaking on phone with Fresh FM, a radio station based in the state, Makinde gave account of his time in isolation and how he was able to test negative after earlier testing positive.
Maintaining that he remained asymptomatic, Makinde said he only put in efforts to boost his immunity and used his time in isolation to regularly exercise on the treadmill.
In boosting his immunity to overcome the virus, he said he consumed Vitamin C, carrots as well as blackseed oil mixed with honey.
He consequently urged all residents of the state not to fret, saying that local solutions existed to boost immunity and overcome the virus.
“My very good friend and brother, Dr Muyideen Olatunji is the one in charge of the Primary Healthcare for Oyo State. He came to me and said, look, I am going to send to you this blackseed oil, it boosts immunity. So I mixed it with honey and took one teaspoon in the morning and one in the evening.
