Fed Govt playing double standard with almajirai, says Wike

RIVERS State Governor Nyesom Wike on Tuesday accused the Federal Government of playing politics with the relocation of almajirai

“When they started relocating the almajirai in the North, the Federal Government said nothing. Immediately they heard that we have relocated some almajirai, they came up with the declaration that it is against the inter-state movement. Why this double standard?” he said.

The governor urged chairmen of local government areas to help the monarchs to implement the directive. “No human being will see death and embrace it. We cannot kill ourselves. The only solution is to ensure social distancing and proper hygiene,” he said. Residents of Oyemekun Road in Akure, the state capital, raised the alarm when they saw the strangers early yesterday.
