Sharp criticisms have trailed the Peoples Democratic Party, unification rally, in Ibadan Oyo State where defectors from the All Progressives Congress, APC and other parties were welcomed to the party.

Many Nigerians have taken to the microblogging platform, Twitter, to lambast the party for allowing the rally in the midst of the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak.

Admist the Coronavirus fears, which had led to suspension of social gatherings and sports activities across the world, many Nigerians said they expected that the PDP should have suspended the rally to avert the spread of Coronavirus.

Social distancing and self insolation have been advised as preventive measures to curtail the spread of the virus.

At this moment the Nigeria had recorded 8 cases of the deadly pandemic.

While serious Governors were doing the needful running up and down to keep citizens safe, Seyi Makinde hosted his co-clowns in their hundreds.

Gov Seyi Makinde politicised coronavirus. Quite sad.

Is Governor Seyi Makinde does not have a good advisers or he does not listen to them? While many countries including Nigeria are restricting and banning crowds, he was organising campaign rallies.

Governor Seyi Makinde says nothing wrong with his Unification Rally of yesterday because only APC members not PDP are prone to the Corona Virus https://t.co/JyR6gnmbDn

I haven’t travelled in 2020. But I’ve been staying away from the public, as much as possible, since Nigeria’s index case of Coronavirus.

Social distancing is how to reduce the spread, from human to human.

Then Seyi Makinde happened! ??‍♀️#Lifeless

Seyi Makinde didn’t think that one through. A very bad example that he’s laid out for people in his state when he should be at the forefront of informing them to stay safe. What the fuck was he thinking?
