Governor Nyesom Wike of River state has said that demolition of the hotels that its management turned deaf ear to the law protecting people against COVID-19 was not unilateral rather it was joint decision at state security meeting.
“I don’t take decisions alone in the fight against COVID-19. All decisions are taken by the State Security Council and they are for the overall interest of Rivers people.
The demolition of Prodest Hotel and Etemeteh Hotel in the Eleme Local Government Area by the state government became necessary because the owners failed to comply with Executive Order 7.
You know people applaud government decisions when it suits them but when it does not favour them they say it is politically motivated.
Rivers State Government does not have anything against hoteliers in the state, but decided to shut down their activities because some cases of COVID-19 were recorded in hotels,”
