State Governors, including that of the Rivers State, have been accused of making life a living hell for Nigerians because of their unquenchable appetite for money.
Founder of the Salvation Ministry, David Ibiyeomie said in reaction to remarks credited to Raymond Dokpesi, the owner of AIT that talk of the existence of the Coronavirus in Nigeria is rubbish
” So, what are we talking of Coronavirus? Closing borders up and down? For what? Nigeria does not even have it. I don’t think Nigeria has it because you’ve heard Dokpesi.
“He said it was malaria tablets they gave him. So, if it was Coronavirus why would they give him malaria tablet?”
The priest alleged that the Coronavirus has become a vehicle for assessing funds from the national treasury.
“In Nigeria they are using it to eat money. Federal government eats money, governors eat money, they lie so they can get aid(s)…
“They don’t have malaria overseas… In Nigeria, the people that have it, I don’t think it is the number they are calling. When somebody has high fever they will say it is Corona, quarantine him!
“56 people have been taken, 46 people have been discharged. Where did they treat them?
“Okay Rivers state does not have a treatment centre. Many states don’t have centres so where are they discharging them from? Many states don’t even have testing kits. We just have so many many funny things.
“I see all our Governors covering their faces. Abroad when they are giving speech do they cover their faces? Why are you covering your face? Why can’t you just go and test yourself so that you know if you have Coronavirus?
“Let them give money to all of them so that they can calm down. Let them just share money to all the Governors so that they can leave Nigeria alone.
“They really need money. They’ve given Lagos state money so they should give them money so that all these closures will stop.
“The Federal government is hearing me. Let them give the Governors small small money so that all these 5 days and 21 days closure would stop.
“Like Rivers State, they should give them money because they produce oil so that all these closures should stop.”
He berated the authorities for making what he considers unverifiable claims about the existence of the virus in Nigeria.
“People are making noise about Coronavirus but to me it is rubbish. Do we make noise about malaria? But malaria kills people more in this country than Coronavirus because everyday people die of malaria”, the Man of God added.
