APGA Shuts Down Offices Nationwide
National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Dr Victor Oye, said at the weekend in Awka that the party has shut down its offices nationwide over the Coronavirus pandemic.
He also called on party faithful and Nigerians in general to support efforts at ending the scourge of Coronavirus pandemic in the country.
Oye said this in a letter to party stakeholders and supporters.
He said while health experts call for physical distancing as part of the ways to curb spread of the virus, there was need for people to be psychotically close to each other and lend support while the period lasts.
He reminded them that all party activities remained suspended, and urged them to adhere strictly to the advice of experts from the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)
“I advise that our members should adhere strictly to the daily advisories from WHO and NCDC and other relevant agencies and governments across the country and maintain high personal hygiene.
“All activities by our party from ward to national levels, involving large gatherings, should be cancelled, to this end, and in subjection to the current situations in the country.
“We have taken more measures to protect our members against the impending cataclysm, among these measures was the shutting down of our national and state offices.”
