“You can worship without going to Church” – Peter Obi says it is wrong to relax lockdown

Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra state, says it is wrong to relax lockdown because of religious worship. 

Speaking at a programme on Arise Television on Friday, Obi said, “It is wrong to relax lockdown because of people going to church. Faith is a thing of the mind. You can worship without going to church,”.

“We have a crisis that we don’t have the resources to manage. The greatest country in the world is America. They are on their knees now health wise and economically. We should not allow that because we cannot manage it.

“Lock up Nigeria and we will solve our problems from within.”
