COVID-19: Anxiety, panic with 24 hours to end of lockdown as Buhari plots extension - Daily Post Nigeria

Everything points to a possible extension.on March 29, Nigeria had only 111 cases. As at Sunday morning, there were officially 318 cases.In a statement signed by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, he said: “The freedoms we ask you to willingly forsake today will only last as long as our scientific advisers declare they are necessary.

He said, ”The decision on whether to extend the lockdown or not is exclusively the decision or responsibility of the President. Ours is to provide him with first-hand information that would inform that decision. So, I cannot speculate on that now. But looking at what is happening in other climes, you would be able to deduce what might likely happen, but I’m not in a position to speculate on that.”

Although, Buhari promised relief materials in the same statement, Nigerians remain apprehensive about the economic implications of an extension. In the last 13 days, companies have shut down, jobs lost, prices of essential commodities shot up and crime rate increased. If the lockdown is extended by a week or two, one can only imagine the chaos that will engulf certain parts of the country.

Our leaders are lack of ideals

Abeg.. Make dem cancel this whole Lockdown. Let's priorities personal hygiene, face mask & 'social distancing, wherever applicable'.

Mr President pls we Nigerian begging you 🙏🙏don't extend anything bcus pple re hungry no foods,no Money, some of us re working with private organization or daily earner hw do you want us to survival with their family.

What an headline you got here, Buhari is ‘plotting ’ an extension.

Still with no clear stimulus packages for the masses - at least the very poor ones. See what's happening in Ogun state... Youths trooping out in 10s and 100s to steal (taking advantage of the lockdown to do evil)... You can't just lock people down without plans...
