the Anambra State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress on Monday scolded the state governor, Willie Obiano, for imposing COVID-19 curfew on the state from the United States of America.
Obiano, who is in Huston, USA, had on Friday through a public announcement by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof Solo Chukwuwlobe, imposed a 9pm to 6am curfew on the state over increasing cases of COVID-19.
The governor also threatened to shut down markets in the state if the traders continued to flout COVID-19 protocols.
Responding the announcement, the state Secretary of the APC, Chukwuma Agufugo, described Obiano’s frequent foreign trips as crass insensitivity.

THE Anambra State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, Monday gave knocks to the state governor, Chief Willie Obiano, saying it was unfair for him to travel out of the state only to impose curfew on the people from the United States of America, USA.
But the state government described APC’s statement as misplaced, adding that the governor was away on a business trip beneficial to Anambra State.
Obiano had on Thursday last week, through the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Solo Chukwulobelu, imposed a curfew on the state from 9pm to 6am daily following the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the state.
