As the people of Nigeria and indeed Abia, God’s Own State continue to face difficulties as a result of the restriction of movements imposed on the state to checkmate the spread of coronavirus, the state governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has expressed sympathy for the people, saying he is touched by their plights.

The Governor in a release he personally signed on Thursday said these are tough times, adding that it pains him to see people idle at home even when they depend on their daily income. “But we shall overcome” he said.

“It pains me to see our people sit at home and do no work, especially for the millions of our people whose livelihoods depend on daily work and activities.

“Government is losing money too because revenue can only be generated when economic activities are on.
