. calls on Deltans to seek divine Intervention
The National Coordinator of Center for Peace and Environmental Justice, CEPEJ, Comrade Sheriff Mulade, has called on the people of Delta State to seek divine intervention for the state and the household of the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, the SSG, Mr Chiedu Ebie and all other government officials who have tested positive to COVID-19.
In a statement, Comrade Mulade wished them speedy recovery to enable them to effectively tackle various development issues such as hunger and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Delta State-born environmental and human rights activist said it was sad that Dr Okowa and other goverment functionaries contracted COVID-19, and urged all Deltans to pray to God to protect the people of the state from the pandemic.
Comrade Mulade, who is the Ibe-Sorimowei of the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom, said coronavirus is real and urged everyone to adhere strictly to all health protocols such as constant handwashing with soap in running water, use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers as well as maintaining social and physical distancing.
According to Mulade, the deadly virus does not respect anybody’s status and advised Deltans and other Nigerians to stay at home as much as they could, especially if they do not have any strong reason to go out of their homes.
