Peter Obi, former
governor of Anambra state, says it is wrong to relax lockdown because of
religious worship.
Speaking at a
programme on Arise Television on Friday, Obi said the coronavirus pandemic is
going out of hand and that the country does not have enough resources to manage
it.
He said states which
have relaxed the lockdown for Easter celebrations do not have enough
ventilators should the crisis escalate.
“It is wrong to
relax lockdown because of people going to church. Faith is a thing of the mind.
You can worship without going to church,” Obi said.
“We have a crisis
that we don’t have the resources to manage. The greatest country in the world
is America. They are on their knees now health wise and economically. We should
not allow that because we cannot manage it.
“Lock up Nigeria and
we will solve our problems from within.”
Some state
governments had announced a relaxation of the lockdown enforced to curb the
spread of the coronavirus over the Easter celebrations.
