Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has relaxed the COVID-19 induced
lockdown of the state with effect from today.

Addressing journalists at Government House, Umuahia after a meeting
with some critical stakeholders in the state, Ikpeazu said as from today, vehicular movements would be allowed in the state.

He however said that commercial vehicle and Keke operators in the state must observe strictly guidelines specified by the state committee on COVID-19 and that anybody who violated the guidelines
would be arrested and prosecuted

The Committee’s guidelines are that keke operators must carry only two
passengers in a given trip, while commercial buses must not carry more
than five persons.

Residents of the state according to the guidelines should wear nose mask before coming out in public, while churches will operate with fewer members and must observe social distancing.



It also stated that burials shall be in a football field with not more than 30 person, while if it is taking place in a compound, there will not be more than 10 persons in attendance.

Before the burial, churches are to obtain permission from the Secretary to the State Government while traditional worshippers should go through their traditional rulers, social distancing must be observed.

Ikpeazu directed market union leaders to meet and plan on how to operate.

This is the only governor that locked down his state without giving any palliative to the citizens. He only distributed the few things given by banks and other coporate organisations to a few selected churches. He claimed to have distributed one million face masks to Nigerians at the cost of N200,000,000, while Abians were scrambling to buy facemasks from the streets.
He distributed gas to people, audio gas o, just as in the kerosene days. Watch how many billions of naira he will claim to have spent in fighting Covid-19 at the end of the day. Nothing is ever enough for this frog. But anyways, the long arm of the law will catch up with him and his masters who have plundered Abia to this degradation one day.

Abia state is the only resilient state in Nigeria. Without government presence for 20yrs and still going.Believe me of you grow up in aba, you are ready for the world.
