Former President of the Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, Chief Onueze Okocha, SAN, and activist, Deji Adeyanju, have backed the demolition of hotels by Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike to enforce the coronavirus lockdown order.
According to him, “Wike was handling the COVID-19 issue very well until he started his tyranny 2 days ago. Our criticism of his tyrannical acts should not stop him from doing his best to prevent the spread of the virus in the state.” Okocha said the action of the governor was justifiable given the several warnings to hoteliers not to operate within the period.
“Yes, there was a regulation put in place long before now regarding the lockdown we have had in Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt City Local Government Areas. I hear that this happened in Eleme Local Government Area.”
