COVID-19: Hold Buhari govt responsible if coronavirus escalates in Rivers – Wike cries out

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has told the people of the State and the entire Nigerians to hold the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government responsible if COVID-19 escalates in the State.

He said: “It has become imperative to alert the state and, indeed, the entire world to the fact that a dangerous escalation of COVID-19 pandemic in Rivers State looms large on our horizon due largely to the hypocrisy of the Federal Government and the continuous acts of willful sabotage by security agencies.”

He declared that staying at home and staying safe for now was not just mandatory, but the best available option in the prevailing circumstance. “Recently, we intercepted a lorry-load of livestock with 22 persons who bribed their ways into Rivers State from as far as Adamawa State despite the Federal Government’s claimed restriction on inter-state travels and our definitive closure of all entry routes into the state,” Wike added.

I believe you sir. It's beat my imagination why this govt is so desperate for the wide spread of this pandemic. How can they coax kogi and cross river state governors to admit that there's a case in their state when obviously there's none.

If federally controlled security forces are sabotaging Gov Wike’s efforts to protect his people, it’s grossly condemnable & strengthens the case for Amotekun!However, bf these people got to Rivers State, they must have passed thru other states. Were those state Govs sleeping?

Wike don't be afraid. Egbesu boys and priests can heal COVID-19. Just splash d oil money on them and they'll do the obvious.

This statement is as a result of MARIJUANA AND SAPELE WATER... 😂😄🤣😃😀😄😂😃🤣😂😃😀🤣😀😃😂🤣🤣😃

You are too rough as governor my friend!

Laulau governor

How? When you said no aircraft should land in Rivers? Clown!

Munmun governor u can’t fight federal government and win

You talk to much Mr Governor. You guys are the Same. pdpandapcdestorynigeria

Yes 100% correct even in d whole nigeria

You can formula a great plan for your state by getting Rapid Test Kits, Isolation centers and meds ready instead of blaming Buhari. One governor claimed hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycine cure him and he's not ashamed to say so.

We know their plans. But they will never have their way, God is with us in Biafra land. BiafraExit

If it does, how do we hold buhari responsible sir? There have been lots of tragedies ravaging the nation which we know buhari is responsible for but can't do anything about. God should help us hold him responsible and accountable.

Nigeria must not get in the bed with China! China’s plan must not be Africans future! Wake up and smell the coffee! Every dollar is not green! But red to follow—take care of the people and stop the virus spread that China delivered.

You're too militant about it all, pls!

Keep voicing out no one will intimidate you, good job sir
