Popular Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo has come out to say that the decision to ease the lockdown in Lagos, Ogun, and Abuja despite the increase in the number of cases is a wrong one.

Hilda recently revealed that Buhari definitely took the decision due to false reports about the current situation of the pandemic in Nigeria.

According to her, the people advising the president are lying to him and this will not help the nation.

She added that it is bad for the government to allow workers to resume work and go about their daily lives when they have not even fumigated streets, major roads, and other places to guarantee their safety.

Her words, “Who exactly is lying to the President? Who? The President has announced the easing of the lockdown on the strength of a lie. Who is lying to the President.

Because on the strength of a lie, he has approved an ease and he has also approved an increase in the number of people to be tested daily to 2500. If they could not accomplish 1, 500 daily, then how are they able to achieve 2, 500 a day?

The nurses and doctors and all health workers are working extremely hard, breaking themselves into pieces just to save lives and a few people are sitting in the comfort of an airconditioned room reaching an agreement that empowers only their pockets.

Why make mess of peoples efforts? Why?

Sometimes when I think of what people that sit in committees come up with, I wonder what runs in their veins. Blood or water? Becasue they react like people who don’t feel the pain of others. You have moved responsibility from yourself and hung it on the neck of the common masses, the same people that you are supposed to be protecting.

During the lockdown, a lot of the poor were on the streets..why? Because your palliatives did not get to them. They were out there struggling to see how they can feed off the food that you hoard at them.

So the palliatives didn’t get to them, no one is empowered to carry out research so research is not going on and now, you are throwing people back into the streets, the streets that you haven’t even fumigated, you haven’t even cleaned up but you have told us that this virus is airborne and can stay airborne for 8 hours.

I don’t understand. Do you even assume that everyone is stupid?

Let us take for instance Lagos state. With no traffic during the lockdown, they could not trace people who had contact with those who had tested positive to the virus. So imagine now with traffic, how they will trace anyone and if someone needs help, how will the NCDC get to the person?

Do we want to end up like Ghana who lifted their lockdown prematurely and ended up with all the casualties that they have. Can we handle that casualty?

Someone is lying to the President and that person needs to stop.”
