By Akinwale Kasali

There seems to be light at the end of the tunnel for researchers who have been trying to find a solution to the deadly Pandemic, Coronavirus, if the claim of Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State is anything to go by.

Having been earlier diagnosed of Coronavirus, the Oyo State Governor went for into isolation. Within the period,  he was re-tested.

Last Sunday, the Governor announced that a first and a second test on him were negative for the Virus.

In an interview with Fresh FM in Ibadan, the

Governor  gave an insight into how he got cured of the disease. He revealed that he took carrot,  honey, and vitamin C as he battled the Coronavirus disease during his isolation period.

On Sunday, April 5, he took to his Twitter handle to announce that he had become negative after series of tests.

Makinde said in boosting his immune system 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  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.
