Covid-19: Rivers Demolishes Two Hotels for Flouting Order on Restrictions
Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike on Sunday monitored the demolition of two hotels for violating the state government’s Executive Order 6 which banned the operation of hotels across the 23 local government areas of the state.Addressing journalists after the demolition, Wike said the law must be obeyed, hence the state government’s decision to enforce it.
“Whether you are PDP or not, all we are saying is that nobody is above the law. If we can do this to a PDP person, then you know we are not discriminatory. Everyone must obey. Whether you are in PDP, SDP or no party, you must obey the law. If any other person does the same thing, the same rule will apply.”“We said no hotel should operate within this period. Unfortunately, the PDP Youth Leader in Eleme joined others to flout the Executive Order. Therefore, the executive order will be applied.
He said: “Look at the rate of infections, most of these people are found in hotels. Look at the man that died, he was at Mingi Hotel in Rumumasi. Due to that contact, we have had other seven cases. He assured the people that the state government would always continue to protect them, adding that the fight against the spread of coronavirus is serious and that is why he is leading it personally.
