Some of the placards read, ‘The state government is not doing anything about the excesses of FMC, Lokoja’; ‘Please help us PMB’; There is isolation centre in FMC, Lokoja with equipment, why are they unutilised?’; ‘Other FMC across the federation are handling the pandemic, GYB/PMB, come to our rescue’.
