Lockdown: Peter Obi Criticises State Governors

Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has criticised state governors who have relaxed the lockdown order due to Jumat and Easter celebrations.

The former Vice Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), who spoke during an interview on Arise TV on Friday, April 10, stated that the relaxation of the lockdown orders for religious reasons is wrong.

According to him, this is because the coronavirus pandemic is getting out of hand and the country does not have enough resources to manage it.

Obi said:  “It is wrong to relax lockdown because of people going to church. Faith is a thing of the mind. You can worship without going to church.

“We have a crisis that we don’t have the resources to manage. The greatest country in the world is America. They are on their knees now health wise and economically. We should not allow that because we cannot manage it.

“Lock up Nigeria and we will solve our problems from within.”
