Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, who tested positive for the novel coronavirus on March 30,2020, has revealed how he fought and defeated the deadly virus.
Recall that on the 5 of April, 2020, the amiable governor announced that he has fully recovered and tested negative after series of tests.
After confirming his negative status, Makinde revealed how he defeated the virus.
According to him, the in-take of carrots, black seed oil, honey and vitamin C helped him successfully battled the Coronavirus disease during his isolation period.
He made this known during an interview with Fresh FM Ibadan on Monday April 6, Makinde said in boosting his immunity to fight coronavirus, he consumed vitamin C, carrots and black seed oil mixed with honey.
“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 black seed oil, it boosts immunity. So, I mixed it with honey and took one teaspoon in the morning and one in the evening.
So, there are local solutions to boost immunity. Our people should not fret. Just as I’ve been able to get the virus out off my system, so will it be for majority of our people. I’ve lost a little bit of weight which I think is good. When you’re 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 programmes, 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.” he said.
