Usually after selling this food items, he will use the vehicle to carry passengers back to the Southeast.
The goverenor said they passed through many states, sleeping in motor parks and filling stations on the way and got to Ebonyi borders on the 20th. Governor Willie Obiano had in a broadcast, directed the reopening of churches and relaxation of intra –state movement to let in what he described as fresh air in Anambra State. Few hours after the broadcast, normal life returned to the state, with private shops opening for business.
“Governor Obiano did the right thing by announcing some policy fine tuning, like the lifting of the restriction on intrastate vehicular movement, but not interstate movement because COVID-19 could be brought into Anambra State again from another part of the country.“There was, therefore, no justification for the lockdown to remain without any adjustment. In any case, relaxation of restrictions is the trend worldwide.
He added: “This is the time to be human. This is the time to show love and compassion. This is the time to show true religion. This is the time to demonstrate practical Christianity. This is the time to see Jesus in our neighbours. While regretting the alleged scandalous handling of government’s COVID- 19 palliatives including cash and food stuffs, the Prophet added that it was shameful as resources that were earmarked to help the poor and vulnerable would be embezzled, diverted or skewed against certain sections of the country.
“And woe unto any government that would announce humongous release of cash and other palliatives but ends up dishing out peanuts to the people.
