Easter: President Buhari Speaks On Lifting Lockdown Order Over COVID-19 by Juicyupdate1(f): 12:27pm On Apr 12, 2020
President Muhammadu Buhari says COVID-19 Lagos lockdown and that of Abuja and Ogun State “will last as long as it is required.”

https://juicyupdate.com.ng/ understands that the President made this disclosure in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, where he appealed to Nigerians to stay at home until medical experts advise it is safe to do otherwise.

This burgeoning online news platform understands that President Buhari promises to provide more palliatives for citizens who are most affected by the effects of the lockdown.

The statement reads as thus; “We realize that today, there will be sons and daughters unable to visit their parents, and elders that are isolated from young ones. And there will be those who live day-to-day, eating as they earn, who face real and present suffering.

“No elected government could ask more of the citizens of the country that elected them than today we ask of you. But we must ask you – once more – to observe restrictions on movement where they are in place, and follow the instructions of our scientists and medical advisers: stay home, wash your hands, save lives.Easter: Buhari Takes Major Decision On Lagos Lockdown, Abuja, Ogun Over COVID-19

“The freedoms we ask you to willingly forsake today will only last as long as our scientific advisers declare they are necessary. But they are essential – world over – to halt and defeat the spread of this virus.

“For those who suffer most egregiously, the Government has announced multiple measures to assist: 70,000 tonnes of grain is being released from the National Strategic Grain Reserves for distribution to those in most need; distribution of small cash payments are also being made, and will continue to be made by the federal government in the states and local government areas.

“We ask you to listen and follow public announcements via the mass media for instructions as to how to receive this government support – and learn of more public assistance in the coming days.

“All that the Government is asking you to endure is because nowhere in the world today is there any known way of defeating this pandemic. There is no vaccine. And that means there are choices to be made: between continuing as usual, or accepting the restrictions even when they come with unintended consequences.

“But at this darkest hour, it remains our duty to offer you the full and unvarnished truth: This is a global pandemic. 210 countries and territories across the globe are affected. We cannot expect others to come to our assistance. No one is coming to defeat this virus for us.

“Instead, the defeat of the virus in our country will be in our hands, alone. We cannot wait for others. We can only depend on ourselves now. And so we must – and we will – end this outbreak ourselves as Nigerians, together.”

This comes in after the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has confirmed that 13 new persons were infected with the coronavirus pandemic in Nigeria.

Recall that the Federal Government had in the previous week ordered a total lockdown for residents of Lagos, Abuja and Ogun States to curb the spread of COVID-19. President Buhari made the announcement during a broadcast.

Choice of domain name is off, there is nothing juicy about political news. Stick with celebrity news with that domain name.

Or change it, if you want to stay with politics.

Our scientific advisers have said there is no vaccine and it would take roughly 12-18 months for it to be formulated and approved. So my question sir is : must we stay indoors for 12-18 months?!
