Both Pastors Tunde Bakare and Pastor Yemi Osinbajo are known and close allies of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The intrigues that played out in his choice of a running mate culminating into his eventual presidential victory separated.

But considering both personalities and the realities we currently face, who would have been a better Vice President to Mr.Buhari in the best interest of Nigeria?

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has imposed a 24 hour curfew in parts of the state.

This follows the violent dimension the ongoing #ENDSARS Protests have with destruction and looting of private and public property.


The Governor in a state-wide broadcast on Wednesday regretted that the protest has been hijacked by hoodlums to unleash carnage and destroy property.


He recalled how earlier today, some hoodlums attacked and destroyed Police Stations and Court buildings in Oyigbo Local Government Area of the State and also how another set of hooligans were on rampage at the Ikokwu spare parts markets disturbing public peace and damaging property.


Gov. Wike emphatically stated that " As a Government, we cannot watch helplessly and allow trouble-makers to take the laws into their hands and use the current situation to create a state of panic and insecurity".


In order to prevent the continuation of such sad occurrences, Gov.Wike said " the State’s Security Council met today and decided to take the following measures to secure lives and property in the State:

(i) A 24-hour curfew has been imposed on Mile 1, Mile 2, Emenike, Ikokwu and Iloaubuchi arears of Port Harcourt from 6.30 p.m. today 21st October 2020.


(ii) A 24-hour curfew has been imposed on the entire Oyigbo Local Government Area from 6.30 p.m. today, 21st October 2020;


(iii) A 24-hour curfew has also been imposed on Oil mill area in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area;


(iv) Security agencies are directed to enforce the curfew with effect from 6.30 p.m. today 21st October 2020; and


(v). Local Government Chairmen are directed to mobilize vigilantes and work with security agencies to ensure that no hoodlum is allowed to disturb the peace or destroy lives and property in their Local Government Areas."

He urge all citizens to remain vigilant and report all suspicious characters to the security agencies for immediate action.


The Governor further appealed to youths not to allow themselves to be used to roll-back the peace we are enjoying in the State under any pretext.

A member of the APM Party from Ogun State in the House of Representatives, Hon. Kolawole Lawal, has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).


Lawal, announced his defection on Tuesday via a letter to the House read by Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila.


He blamed his defection from the APM on existing factions in the party.


Meanwhile, the main opposition party, the PDP, has frown at the defection describing it as unconstitutional.

Reacting after the Speaker asked the Deputy Minority Leader, Tobi Okechukwu, if he had any objection to the defection, he told the Speaker to obey the provisions of the Constitution and declare the seat of the lawmakers vacant.

But the Speaker asked: “Do you remember when 48 members dumped the APC and joined the PDP? Do you remember what I said and what you told me? Why did you not raise the constitutional issue then?”


Okechukwu replied: “Mr Speaker, I remembered. It was apparent that the APC was factionalised then.”


The Speaker however overruled him, saying: “This issue was raised last week. In any case, your observation is noted and also refused to allow Him.”

The Rivers State Government led by Gov.Nyesom Wike has reminded citizens and residents of a general ban on all forms of protests throughout the State.

This is coming ahead of the #ENDSARS Protest this Tuesday in Portharcourt, the Rivers State capital.

In a government special announcement signed by Information Commissioner, Paulinus Nsirim, the Rivers State Government specifically said :

"..... all proposed protests under #End SARS Campaign are hereby prohibited.

On why the decision was taken, the statement added that "Government took this decision because the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had already scrapped the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

Therefore, there is no need for any form of protest against a Unit of the Police Force that no longer exists."


Mr.Nsirim warned "Parents and Guardians to ensure that their children or wards do not violate this order.".

The statement further directed law enforcement agencies to ensure that the ban is enforced and that violators are brought to book.

Naija Politics Hub recalls that there have been viral protests recently in Nigeria and globally for an end to the FSARS and police brutality.

The reelected governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu has described his estranged deputy, Agboola Ajayi has a snake that had to go for him to sleep well.


The governor stated this in a post-election victory interview.


Gov.Akeredolu said the betrayal of Mr.Ajayi has taught him a lesson in politics.


“The event that commenced this process like the Deputy Governor who decided to jump ship. I was shocked too. Although, I got to know it’s going to happen when I saw his movements. I said okay, this man has made up his mind to go.


“I think God answered my prayer, I was praying for him to go and I think he has to go anyway because you cannot have people who will be there and want to stab you at the back and you want to keep them in the house, no.


“You cannot have a snake under your roof and think you can sleep well. So, it was good we asked the snake to go, so we had to sleep properly.


“So, that’s taught me a lesson in politics. But it’s not a new thing. It has happened over and over, right here in South West, even in the North, everywhere.


He expressed optimism that the Deputy-Elect, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, would not betray him like Agboola.


Gov.Akeredolu also expressed shock at the results of Akure South, Akure North, and Ifedore local government areas where the PDP Candidate, Eyitayo Jegede defeated him.


He added that He thought he would win in those localities because he worked in those areas where he said people turned against the APC


“I’m shocked at what happened in Akure because I take Akure South, Akure North, and Ifedore as one Akure. So, I’m shocked at the development there.


“But I’ll put that behind me. I’ll move forward. I thought I would win in Akure because I worked in those three local governments where people turned against us. But it’s alright with me. We’ll forget it.”

[BREAKING] #EndSARS: Ganduje suspends aide for criticising Buhari

Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has suspended his Special Adviser on Media, Salihu Yakasai, for criticising the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd).

The PUNCH reports that Yakasai lambasted Buhari for not addressing Nigerians amid national outrage as well as days of online and offline protests against the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigeria Police Force.

Yakasai, who tweeted through his handle, @dawisu, had said the President has no empathy for Nigerians by his inaction.

The media aide wrote this shortly before the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, announced the disbandment of SARS in Abuja on Sunday afternoon.

Yakasai had tweeted, “I have never seen a government with zero empathy like that of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“So many times when his people are going through a difficult time and expect some sort of tap on shoulder to reassure them that he is in charge, but he failed to do so.

“The ‘I don’t care attitude’ is on another level.

“To speak to your own people over issues that are bedevilling them has become something like a favour you are doing to them.

“Over and over again, you cannot spare five minutes to address the nation to calm them down, the same people you went to the 36 states to beg for their votes, it is heartbreaking.”

Reacting in a statement, the Kano State Government described Yakasai’s comments as “unguarded utterances”, noting that his suspension was with immediate effect.

The statement was titled ‘Ganduje Suspends Media Aide Over Attack On Buhari’ and signed by the Commissioner for Information, Muhammed Garba.

The statement released on Sunday afternoon partly read, “Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State has suspended his Special Adviser on Media, Salihu Tanko Yakasai over some unguarded utterances on the person of President Muhammadu Buhari on the social media platform.

“The state Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, who conveyed the governor’s directive in a statement this afternoon, said the suspension is with immediate effect.

“He said that though the media aide has own up the indiscreet comment as his personal opinion, but that as a public figure, it will be difficult to differentiate between personal opinion and official stand on matters of public concern.

“The governor, therefore, warned political appointees and public servants to guard against making statements capable of drawing unnecessary controversy and heating up the polity.”

Ganduje had in April sacked the state’s Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Mu’azu Magaji, for celebrating the death of the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari.

Dr.Parker, former Commissioner of Health in the Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi administration, led over 2,000 of his supporters from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at Okochiri in Okrika Local Government Area on Sunday.


Excited by his return to the PDP, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike while speaking at the event announced the award of the second phase of Okochiri Internal Roads in Okrika Local Government Area for the people of Krikese Kingdom.


A statement from Information Commissioner, Paulinus Nsirim on Sunday added that Gov.Wike also announced the award of the reclamation of 25 hectares of land at the ATC area in Okrika Island as well as the construction of Wakama-Ogu Road in Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area.


"I was here last time and I promised the people of Krikesegbese that I am going to award the second phase of the Okochiri Internal Roads.


"I also told the people of Krikesegbese that I am going to sandfill 25 hectares of land at the ATC area of Okrika Island.

"Again, I told you people that I am going to award the Wakama-Ogu Road in Ogu-Bolo Local Government Area.


"As today, those contracts have been awarded since last week Friday and they will be executed by indigenes of your area," he stated


Governor Wike lauded Dr. Sampson Parker for taking the bold step to come back to his former Party.

He recalled the role played by Dr. Parker in the emergence of former Governor Rotimi Chibike Amaechi in 2007 and that his coming back to the PDP would add value to the Party.

Governor Wike urged political leaders in the area not to discriminate him, but ensure that he be carried along in the scheme of things.

"Dr. Parker was one of those God used alongside some of us to bring Amaechi in as Governor of Rivers State in 2007.

"We thought that from that time, everybody will be united, but we didn't know that some persons had different plans, but God's plan is always the best.

"When I was leaving in 2012, I told Dr. Parker that things are not moving well and I am going. But he insisted that I should remain as there was need for us to continue to be together.

"But I am happy today that my friend and brother has realized what I told him then and has returned to the PDP.

"Dr. Parker came at the right time and nobody should discriminate him because with the level of politics he had played, he will add value to the Party", the Governor said.


In his speech, the former Commissioner for Health, Dr. Sampson Parker described the occasion as home coming to the PDP family.

He stated that his conscience and soul are at peace with his decision and pledged his loyalty to the Party.

Dr. Parker lauded Governor Wike's developmental strides in Krikese Kingdom and thanked him for accepting his return to the PDP.

Meanwhile,the Rivers State Chairman of PDP, Ambassador Desmond Akawor who received Dr. Parker into the Party said the decision of the former Health Commissioner was based on the massive development projects the Governor has sited across the State.

He described former Governor Chibuike Amaechi as politically dead, having lost key political allies in succession to the PDP.

In his goodwill message, the Leader of PDP in Okrika Local Government Area, Dr. Abiye Sekibo thanked Governor Wike for always rising to the occasion in defense of the people of Krikesegbese.

He also lauded the Governor for the various developmental projects executed in the area and assured him of their support.

Amaechi's Projects To Rivers People Are Hatred, Division, Bloodbath & Oppression - Ateke Tom's Kinsmen


The People of Okochiri Kingdom in Rivers State under the kingship of HRM King Ateke Michael Tom, a former militant leader, have slammed former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.


In a statement signed by Chief Jackson Adoki Ibitienbo, the Chairman Okochiri Kingdom Council of Chiefs, Amaechi, who is the current Minister of Transportation was accused of attracting no meaningful projects to Rivers State except hatred, division, bloodbath and oppression.

The Community agreed with the recent position of Gov.Nyesom Wike who had in a recent interview blasted his predecessor accusing him of elephant projects.

The attack from the Okochiri People was due to an earlier statement credited to Mr.Amaechi, in which He made an uncomplimentary comment to Ateke, who is now their king.


Naija Politics Hub recalls that Mr.Amaechi while speaking recently at the burial of Elder Statesman, The Honorable Justice Adolphus Karibi-White had made reference to Ateke thus:

"Everyone is scared, we are going back to when Ateke held sway. We are going back to the period where we run away from our people".


The community described that statement as "Unguided" and demanded an unreserved apology to their king.


The full statement reads below:


"The people of Okochiri kingdom, like all Wakirike people are a peace loving people but not cowards and will want to call on the former Governor Rotimi Amaechi to take his uncouth mouth to the arena of jackals where he is a Chief.


As a Kingdom we are appalled at the callous manner Amaechi has exhibited his lack of respect for the Ancient Okochiri Kingdom but not surprised because the lack of proper breeding cannot be compensated for by political opportunism.

We condemn this in it's totality and call for caution as we will no longer entertain such despicable and uncultured behavior which he has exhibited at every given opportunity.


While he was Governor of Rivers State, he wasn’t short of such conduct and as such insulted and harassed respected traditional rulers at will, including the traditional ruler of Abonnema in whose domain he made such disparaging remarks on the person of King Ateke Tom.


Amaechi should know that his incessant hatred for King Ateke Tom is of public knowledge and a source of concern for all right thinking persons.

We call on Amaechi to grapple with the hyenas in his head and the political extinction facing him rather than constantly pick on a king whose acceptance, generosity and popularity has made him a toast of his people.


May we remind him that as the minister of transportation all he has given to Rivers people as projects are his hatred, division, bloodbath and oppression, while the present governor employs every means to repair the the damages.


Rotimi Amaechi after leaving Rivers State as Governor has never said anything good about Rivers State. He is a man who never sees anything good in other people’s effort, he doesn’t understand what true politics without hatred in the spirit of sportsmanship is all about.

He sees every opinion that is contrary to his, no matter how good,as immaterial. This denied his party in the last election the right to submit a Governorship candidate and candidates for other elective positions in Rivers State.


May Amaechi continue to live and wallow in this mirage, while Rivers State continues to make productive progress without his input as a serving federal minister from Rivers State.


His continuous demarketing of Rivers State and indeed any body that has anything good to offer Rivers State has caused the state a huge loss economically.


We call on those who hold Amaechi’s leash to pat his back and stop him from his rabid rampage.King Ateke

Tom the King of Okochiri kingdom, is doing his best to maintain peace not just in Okochiri kingdom but in Rivers State and the Niger Delta region at large. These practical generous efforts are well known, seen and celebrated by his people and humanity in general.


Amaechi should know that King Ateke Tom doesn’t need him for anything on earth therefore, whatever opinion or grudge he holds against King Ateke Tom is not new to us and as such he should perpetually bury his head in shame.


We therefore draw the attention of his Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari to the need to carry out a fatherly evaluation on Rt Hon. Rotimi Chibuike the minister of transport with a view to ascertaining his problems and seeking appropriate remediation.

we appeal that this is taken with utmost priority as it will help him fulfill his duties as a public servant.


His Majesty King Ateke Michael Tom and the People of Okochiri Kingdom are willing to help in the search for the healing of Amaechi of his chronic sickness of rabid rampaging shenanigans if the need arises".

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has finally reacted to the defeat of the party in just concluded Edo Election.


Tinubu in a statement on Monday urged his supporters and partymen to be consoled by their earlier victories and also find the courage to take pleasure in their defeats.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has warned Organised Labour in Rivers State against embarking on its planned protest and strike action.



Speaking through the Rivers State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zacchaeus Adangor, Gov.Wike said NLC is abandoning a subsisting court case reserved for judgement on September 29, 2020 to embark on its threatened current strike, which will amount to Contempt of court.



He accused the State Chapter of the Nigerian Labour Congress( NLC ) of colluding with its national leadership to force industrial action on workers in the State.



Briefing journalists in Port Harcourt, Prof. Adangor said explained that on the 16th March 2020, the Organised Labour issued seven days notice for an indefinite strike but failed as scheduled for midnight 23rd March 2020.



He said a suit was instituted by the Rivers State Government at the Port Harcourt Division of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria seeking interpretation to the enabling laws relating to the strike.



According to him, the originating summons was heard and instead of NLC to await the judgment that is reserved for September 29, 2020, they are calling for another strike.



"The Rivers State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, failed or neglected to fulfil the condition precedent for the declaration of the strike action as prescribed in Section 4,6 and 18(1)(a) of the Trade Dispute Act, Cap T8, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.



"Surprisingly, while the suit No. NICN/PH/41/2020 is still pending and the Interim Order of Injunction issued therein still subsisting, the defendants acting in collusion and concert with the national leadership of the Organised Labour (NLC and TUC) issued another threat of fresh strike in Rivers state based on the same reasons," he stated.



The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice noted that in the face of overt and unmitigated illegality by Organised Labour, the Rivers State Government approached the Court because it believes in the rule of law.



According to him, the government obtained an Interim Injunction from the National Industrial Court of Nigeria sitting in Lagos to stop the labour strike while also seeking interpretation of provisions of the Trade Dispute Act and Trade Union Act.



Prof. Adangor said with the subsisting matter in court and the order of Interim Injunction, the organised labour in Rivers state would be committing contempt of court if it embarks on industrial action.



"The trial court after hearing extensive legal argument from the Attorney General of Rivers state granted an order of Interim Injunction restraining all the Defendants on record.



" Whether by themselves or through their servants, agents, privies, officers or otherwise howsoever called from embarking on a strike action in Rivers State on 5th, 6th, or 7th September 2020 or any other date whether earlier or later, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice for Interlocutory Injunction," he stated.



Prof. Adangor said all the Defendants had been duly served with the Order of Interim Injunction and they cannot claim otherwise.



He stated that the affidavits of service had been filed in the registry of the court after substituted means of service was used.



According to him, the Vanguard and the Daily Sun Newspapers of Thursday, September 3, 2020 were used, which is legally binding on the Defendants.



"Every disobedience of an Order of Court constitutes contempt of Court. The organised Labour is therefore warned against any act of overt or subtle disobedience of the substituting order," he added.

Gov.Nyesom Wike of Rivers State says the State will not fail to protect a former Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission(NDDC), Joi Nunieh, who he described as a "Daughter" of Rivers State from actual harm or perceived danger.

This is coming amidst an ongoing debacle between Madam Nunieh and the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio over fraud in the commission amidst a forensic audit to probe financial recklessness in the NDDC.

A recent fireback by Madam Nunieh at Senator Akpabio with very weighty allegations has raised concerns over her security.

However, Gov.Wike in a statement signed by Information Commissioner, Paulinus Nsirim said: "Rivers State Government has viewed with concern, the recent developments at the Niger Delta Development Commission(NDDC) in which the name of our daughter, Dr. Joi Nunieh, the immediate past Acting Managing Director of the Commission, has been dragged into."

Gov.Wike called on those involved in the ongoing investigations in the NDDC to ensure that Dr. Joi Nunieh does not suffer any harm in the course of their undertakings.

"We wish to state categorically that the Rivers State Government will never support any action that will prevent or jeopardize the laudable intentions of His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, to positively reposition the NDDC and fulfill the yearnings and aspirations of the people of the Niger Delta.

However, we wish to state that while we are not interested in identifying with the present unfolding drama in the NDDC, we will not however fail to protect our daughter from actual harm or perceived danger.

The State owes it as a duty to protect her citizens from danger no matter their political affiliation and we cannot fold our hands and watch anyone harm her or indeed any Rivers citizen", the statement read.

The Governor further advised those involved in the present altercations in the NDDC to thread with caution in their actions and utterances.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called on the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio to step aside following the unending frauds been exposed in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

"The PDP demands that Senator Akpabio should step aside and submit himself for investigation over these weighty allegations", the party stated in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan on Monday.

The party said the fraud going on in the NDDC is just a tip of the iceberg of the stinking corruption and criminal racketeering that have pervaded the the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, under President Muhammadu Buhari , describing it as "rotten".

According to the PDP, the shocking details of allegation by the former NDDC Managing Director, Joy Nunieh, of massive stealing, manipulation of budget processes, victimization and implication of innocent Nigerians as well as fetish practices by corrupt officials, allegedly spearheaded by the supervising minister, Senator Godswill Akpabio, have further exposed how ministries, agencies and departments (MDAs) are run under the Buhari administration.

The party also said it has observed that the silence and inaction by the Buhari Presidency and the APC since the uncovering of the fraud in the NDDC signpost complicity at the highest levels as well as validate public stance that treasury looting and cover up for corrupt persons are normal official statecraft and manifesto of the APC and Buhari Government.

The statement added that "Nigerians are still in a state of shock over reports of how the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Akpabio, allegedly bullied officials to pillage the Commission’s foreign currency account; how the laid down procedures of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) are allegedly circumvented to siphon unapproved budgets as well as how innocent workers and federal legislators, who are averse to corrupt practices, were victimized, implicated and even harassed with fetish practices.

The allegation by the former NDDC MD that a certain NDDC top notch said he can kill if Senator Akpabio asks him to do so, shows the level of recklessness and the victimization in MDAs under the APC Rule."

It further stated that "More distressing is that the Buhari Presidency and the APC
had remained silent even when the embattled minister has not provided any concrete defence to the allegations beyond personal attacks on the whistle blower.

Nigerians will recall that our party had in April, alerted of massive looting in the NDDC and called for investigation, which was however not addressed by the government.

Our party had also alerted that the NDDC management has not been able to give cogent explanation to the reported Lassa fever contract fraud through which over N4 billion naira NDDC fund was alleged to have been frittered on hazy procurement deals.

This is in addition to alleged N5.5 billion COVID-19 scandal which trails reports that the NDDC had already spent over N1.045 billion purportedly for supply of kits and palliatives to Nigerians in nine states".

The PDP said it holds that any credible administration like the one the APC
and the Buhari Presidency would want Nigerians to believe as running, would have spoken out and commenced immediate investigation into the matter, if its officials are not complicit.

The party therefore charged President Buhari to speak out on the issue, particularly, given the delicate nature of the Niger Delta, and take steps to investigate and prosecute all those involved in the alleged fraud.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has imposed another curfew on Bonny Local Government Area and Onne Community in Eleme Local Government Area.

This new curfew which shall be from 8.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. commencing from 10th July 2020 until further notice, is coming few days after the governor suspended a total lockdown of the two areas due to the wild spread of the Coronavirus.

"Also, as a further measure to sustaining the progress we have made, the Security Council has decided to place a nighttime curfew, from 8.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. on Bonny Local Government Area, and Onne community in Eleme Local Government Area, with effect from 10th July 2020 until further notice.

These and all other measures are very important, and the more we strictly apply and comply with them, the quicker are we going to slow the spread and eventually kick out this pandemic from our State.

As a Government, we are serious with our own responsibilities and those who take our resolve for granted and think that they can undermine our efforts at will without suffering consequences are gravely mistaken".

Gov.Wike stated this in a state wide broadcast on Wednesday night in Port-Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

The Governor also announced the sack of the Permanent Secretary, Establishment, Mr. Sunny Okere for floating the Covid-19 guidelines on burials.

"Consequently, the Permanent Secretary, Establishment, Mr. Sunny Okere has been relieved of his appointment with immediate effect for flouting and obstructing the enforcement of the guidelines on public burials. This should serve as a lesson to all other public officers who may wish to be irresponsible."

Giving an update on the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in Rivers State, Gov.Wike said:

"As at today 8 July 2020, the COVID-19 status of our State is as follows:

Total samples collected: 4573
Total samples tested: 3871
Total confirmed cases: 1235
Total Discharged cases: 810
Total active cases: 382
Total death: 43
New cases: 30 "

He blamed the rise in the number of cases in the state on the refusal of the people to fully comply with the directives as earlier announced by the government and the Nigeria Centre For Disease Control, NCDC. The Governor further cautioned against the resort to self-medication insisting that Covid-19 isn't a dead sentence.

"We have also noticed that most affected people are resorting to self-medication instead of presenting themselves for appropriate medical attention and treatment at the State’s treatment centres.

It makes no meaning to embark on or resort to self-medication as this approach has directedly been responsible for some of the covid-19 related deaths in our communities.

Furthermore, in the face of increasing infections and systemic risk to public health and safety, most residents have continued to disregard the mitigating protocols with reckless abandon.

All over the State, people are going about without wearing face masks or practicing the simple hygiene of regular washing of hands and applying alcohol-based sanitizers.

Public and private transporters and business owners, including super-markets and related businesses, have refused to obey or enforce the established guidelines on social distancing, hand washing and wearing of face masks.

Security reports also indicated that Churches in Eleme, Obio/Akpor, Oyigbo, and Port Harcourt City Local Government Areas are refusing to limit social gathering to not more than 50 persons at a time.

Burial ceremonies are also reportedly being conducted in clear breach of the 50 persons maximum attendance limit, such that a serving Permanent Secretary had the temerity to chase away officials of the State Ministry of Health who went to enforce the established guidelines on public burials at Oyigbo."

Gov.Wike while calling on the people to take personal responsibility; to take the necessary precautions to prevent exposure and spread of COVID-19 in the communities, also threatened to arrest and prosecute persons who move around in public without wearing the facemask.

He said:

"We are closely monitoring compliance with the wearing of face masks in public places, including transport vehicles, and urge residents to strictly comply or risk arrest and prosecution.

All supermarkets and related stores and businesses must continue to enforce social distancing and the compulsory wearing of face masks or risk being sealed off.

A State Joint Task Force made up of security and civilian personnel has been set up to enforce the wearing of face masks in the State."

He reminded citizens and residents of the state that "Bars, cinemas, viewing centres, restaurants and related businesses shall remain closed until further notice."

Speaking on the calls for the reopening of markets and schools, Gov.Wike said:
"We are appraising the prospect of opening our markets to public trading and would do so once we are satisfied that it is safe and proper with appropriate guidelines to enforce social distancing, hand washing, basic hygiene practices, and the wearing of face masks.

We are taking necessary measures to decontaminate our public schools, protect our children and ensure the safe resumption of schools for terminal classes in line with the Federal Government’s Guidelines on a date to be announced by the Commissioner of Education."
