The comedian
who had started a campaign against the pandemic after suspending the
celebration of his 25th anniversary on stage due to the pandemic revealed that
he is worried by the increasing number of COVID-19 cases recorded each day and
as such.
Veteran
comedian, Francis Agoda also known as I Go Dye has donated his mansion to the
Federal Government to be used as an isolation Center as the nation continues to
battle the Coronavirus pandemic.
I Go Dye
disclosed that he is donating his mansion as his own contribution towards the
efforts of the government to control, prevent, isolate and treat those
diagnosed or to be treated in future.
He also
called on the Federal government to implement a two weeks total lockdown so as
to curb the spread of the ravaging viral disease.
“I’M DONATING
MY NEW FAPOH ROYAL SEAL MANSION TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA TO USE IT AS
AN ISOLATION CENTRE.
“Humanity will
overcome all its challenge only if we are willing to let go of the things we
are not using for now for the benefit of others.
“In view of
the increasing cases of #coronavirus patients in Nigeria, and the few screening
centres available for now, I’m deeply worried. We will be making humanitarian
sacrifices towards contributing our selfless deeds to control the escalating
records of the #coronavirus as predicted by WHO.
“When I wrote
an open letter to Mr President on the 5th of Apri 2020 on how we can control
the spread of the convid-19, it was only 210 cases, today it’s moving towards a
thousand.
“We should be
proactive if we hope to win this global war, that has no boundaries, no
discrimination, and unfortunately indestructible for now. Against this
backdrop, and the ongoing lockdown, the few services left has been put on hold
at the ongoing FAPOH Royal Seal Mansion project site.
“I feel
convinced to donate this my new FAPOH Royal Seal Mansion to the Federal
Government to use as an isolation center, as my personal quest to assist in the
control, prevention, isolation and treatment of those diagnosed or to be
treated in the course of us finding a lasting solution. This donation will
stand as a gift to humanity, till we find a solution which will once again set
us free from the shackles of this incurable disease.
“I am
appealing to Nigerians to take this matter seriously because COVID-19 is real
as it has claimed over one million lives in all parts of the world.
“The hardship
is really getting harder it may jeopardize the progress of controlling the
spread of the virus.
The federal
government must provide adequate palliatives for all Nigerians, till this
disease become a thing of the past.
“I also
appeal for a two-week total lockdown to enable government to treat existing
cases and curb further spread by those who may have contracted the COVID-19.
This lockdown will control all forms of movement and socialization between
individuals or groups.
“May God see
us through this dark moments. Amb Francis Agoda,” he concluded.
