He said: “It’s very unfortunate that the Eleme youth leader took his position as a party executive for granted to flout the authority of the governor and orders of the state government by attacking members of the task force on COVID-19.”

The PDP alleged that the former youth leader organised a party in a hotel in Eleme to rubbish the efforts of the government to contain the pandemic.

“I believe this will serve as a deterrent to others who may wish to engage in the similar activities to test the sincerity and political will of the state government to deal decisively with such recalcitrance.”
