“This is meant to forestall the spread of coronavirus in our dear state. If we are not careful and observe safety measures as stipulated by government, this deadly disease would spread here as it is already doing in many countries.

“I encourage all to seek God’s intervention so that after two weeks, restriction orders will hopefully be lifted so that people can go about their various businesses.

Senator Ekwunife however said that, on her part, she was making frantic efforts to support the people as much as she could, to help them overcome the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic had imposed on them, with the palliatives she has already distributed to her constituents.
