He said, “If these numbers continue to go up and we start having significant deaths, we will have no option. If we do not want to lock down, now is the time to make sure that we follow the non-pharmaceutical interventions.”

Also, the PTF Chairman and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, who spoke earlier, said, “The Presidential Task Force is very concerned about the increasing daily numbers that we are recording.

During the last lock down, we witnessed hunger, starvation, death, rape cases, suicides, sufferings and pains. People suffered. In the midst of all this, you guys hoarded palliatives and kept it away from the suffering masses. Try another lockdown and end sars will be a child's play to the massive protest that will storm every street. However, Nigerians, pls let's keep to the rules and follow the protocols. Put on face mask, wash and sanitize properly and keep a safe distance

When the White miscreants MAGA in America copied us in invading the National Assembly, you did not give kudos to us that we have taught the Whites something.
