Our Reporters
The Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has been shunning major functions due to the surge in COVID-19 cases in the state.
A government official, who disclosed this to our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said the governor had been in his Aguleri country home in the Anambra East Local Government Area of the state since Christmas.
The source said, “We have an average of 40 cases weekly and they continue to increase because those infected are infecting others; our people are not cooperating. Because of that, the governor has been absent at major functions.”
