COVID-19 Lockdown: Give Food To Your People, Apostle Suleman Tells Governors

The founder and senior pastor of the Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman has urged state governors to make food available to their people throughout the coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown.

The clergyman noted that the food reserves across the nation should be meant for emergencies such as the one that has been caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Naija News recalls President Muhammadu Buhari had on Sunday, ordered a 14-day lockdown in Abuja, Lagos and Ogun, with a view to containing the further spread of the virus.

“Governors should release thousands of truck loads of food items to local govt chairmen and they should have council staff move from house to house giving food items..Nigeria has a reserved account for emergencies like this..what’s going on?” he tweeted.
