The former presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party, YPP, Kingsley Moghalu has reacted to the calls for a relaxation of nationwide lockdown despite an increase in cases of Coronavirus.
The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC warned that there would be social unrest and fall in the economy if the lockdown is extended.
Likewise, Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church also told President Muhammadu Buhari to end the lockdown and impose the use of masks

On his Twitter page, he acknowledged that the conflict between staying at home and “Re-opening” is a difficult but ultimately false choice.
“As I said to my son, if we were in a conventional war and bombs were dropping, would you pretend all is normal? Or is it because this is a virus?
Presently, the total of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Abuja is 119 while Lagos stands at 504.
