The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday backed Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers State over his approach in tackling the spread of COVID-19 in his state.
PDP maintained that Wike was leading the war against the spread of COVID-19 from the front.
National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, while insisting that Wike was determined to protect his people, questioned the whereabouts of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ologbondiyan tweeted: “@GovWike is leading the war against COVID-19 from the front, protecting the people of Rivers State from the pandemic. Where is @MBuhari?”
Wike had on Sunday demolished Prodest (Prudent) Hotel at Alode in Eleme Local Government Area of the state for flouting the state’s lockdown order.
He had explained that the hotel was demolished because one of the coronavirus cases in the state spread originated from a hotel guest.
