President of Benson Idahosa University, Bishop F.E.B Idahosa has knocked the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike for relaxing the COVID-19 lockdown for the Easter celebrations.

Idahosa registered his displeasure in a series of tweets on Friday.

Governor Wike had on Thursday relaxed the lockdown order in order to allow residents shop for the Easter celebrations.

Idahosa wrote: “The Gov of #RiversState has allowed all churches & mosques there to meet in full force this wkend. If there was a Kingdom of Bad Ideas, this one would be king. The only worse idea is for you to attend one of these services knowing what you know about #covid_19. Yes, I’m a Pastor.

“Is it that we don’t know how to learn from #history or know how to learn from science History is being created right in front of our eyes in the daily news as we watch the trends of #COVIDー19 in other countries & yet, this Governor is insisting we make the same mistakes. Why?

“One way #COVIDー19 is spread is when people gather in large numbers in one place. An infected but asymptomatic person can quickly spread the virus to others & they in turn will do the same. Not knowing & making mistakes is one thing; but knowingly making mistakes is ignorance.”
