As relocation of Almajiri from one state to the other continues to generate reactions from different quarters, Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has accused the Federal government of playing politics with the relocation of almajiri.

Wike raised the allegation while speaking at the Government House in Port Harcourt when he received traditional rulers on Tuesday.

“When they started relocating the almajiri in the North, the Federal Government said nothing. Immediately they heard that we have relocated some almajiri, they came up with the declaration that it is against the inter-state movement. Why this double standard?” he said.

The governor also urged traditional rulers to set up a task force in their communities to enforce the closure of markets, hotels and beer parlours across the state.

Addressing the monarchs at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Wike said the shutdown of Port Harcourt and Obio-Akpor local government areas was necessary to curtail the spread of Coronavirus.

The governor urged chairmen of local government areas to help the monarchs to implement the directive.

Wike threatened to punish anyone who violates the state’s directive on the use of face masks and the closure of markets.

“As the hotels remain closed, those coming in will have nowhere to stay. When we are safe, we can enjoy what we can. I am not doing this because I hate anyone, but it is for the protection of our people.

“No human being will see death and embrace it. We cannot kill ourselves. The only solution is to ensure social distancing and proper hygiene,” he said.
