Bamgbola said: “Our nation cannot afford to welcome or accommodate coronavirus in our land. God forbid it in Jesus name. We are watching the situation very closely to know what we must do.
“God has kept it away from us because we cannot contain the pandemic here. “We have not got to that point and we believe we won’t get there.”
