Fani-Kayode further stated that with the sensible and concrete measures to fight the coronavirus taken by the President, he said it is the time to set political differences aside, join hands, defend and protect the people.
I gather that you will be doing a live broadcast at 7.00pm this evening. As I told you before, that is the way to settle this matter. Thanks for listening & taking my advice. When you speak about the evil plague please do not call it COVIKK 1-9. Call it COVID 19 or CORONAVIRUS! https://t.co/RsaqzUcE9z

…I am also glad that once again @MBuhari took my advice and used the words COVID 19 and CORONAVIRUS to describe the plague and NOT COVIKK 1-9. I commend him for doing so. By the grace of God we as a nation and a people shall get through this challenging time…2/3
