Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said that the lockdown in Lagos State due to coronavirus hasn’t been lifted in celebration of Easter.
Describing news of lifting the lockdown as fake, Sanwo-Olu urged Lagosians to stay at home while they celebrate the period.
He also revealed that he would be making use of technology to worship virtually.
He wrote: “The true meaning of #GoodFriday and #Easter is the power of sacrifice. This weekend, the sacrifice of staying at home and social distancing is required to stop the spread of #COVID19. Avoid fake news, the lockdown hasn’t been lifted. Think longterm, #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe.”
He added: “The Federal Government has announced a public holiday, do spend time with your loved ones AT HOME. We are thankful for technology, I will be worshipping virtually with my family on #Easter Sunday. Kindly say a prayer for all our health workers.”
