Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has revealed what he did while in isolation to flush out coronavirus from his system.
The governor announced that he had become negative on Sunday night six days after he tested positive for the virus.
Speaking on phone with Fresh FM, a radio station based in the state, Makinde gave account of how he was able to test negative after earlier testing positive.
He maintained that he remained asymptomatic throughout his period in isolation, adding that he only made efforts to boost his immunity and also exercised regularly on the treadmill.
To boost his immunity, he said he took vitamin C, carrots and blackseed oil mixed with honey.
He consequently urged all residents of the state not to fret, saying that local solutions exist 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.
“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 majority of our people,” Makinde said.
He added his days in isolation also offered him a time to rethink his programmes and policies for the state as well as how to handle the socioeconomic effects of COVID-19 on the state.
