As Nigerians live in fear over the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the former Director, Planning and Monitoring, APC Presidential Campaign Council, Theodore Ekechi, has asked the Federal Government to ban church and mosque worships for 40 days.
He also tasked the government not only to shut down schools from primary to tertiary level but also ban burial gathering, rallies and any gathering above 50 persons.
Addressing the media, Sunday, in Abuja, Ekechi noted that, “The global threat now posed by the disease commonly known as coronavirus which WHO has technically labelled COVlD-19 is no longer an idle issue.
“Certainly, coronavirus is the thematic treatise on the lips of every informed man and woman under the sun,” he insisted.
According to him, “The discourse on this earthshaking disease is discussed in multiple times more than the weather in Europe, dissected in dozens more than terrorism in America and, over and over again more than corruption and poverty in Asia and Africa.
“In all the countries and continents mentioned above, a practical, effective and well-coordinated measures have been put in place for the purposes of providing thorough counterpoise in the fight against this mendacious killer disease called coronavirus,” he said.
He said: “China, with her commendable heights as well as advancement in science and technology even with her heroics in medicine, has been struggling strenuously in withstanding the ravaging epidemic of COVlD-19 challenge.”
