During a visit to the popular Ogbeogonogo market, SaharaReporters observed it was under lock and key as traders roamed about the premises condemning the action of the state governor who they alleged ordered the closure of the market and schools in the state capital for the PDP presidential campaign rally.
“You are punishing the same people you claimed you want to rescue. There's no hope for Nigeria with PDP and APC.” A visit by SaharaReporters to the Zappa Basic secondary school, Umuagu, Uzoigwe primary school, Nnebisi road Asaba, confirmed the facilities were shut down and under lock and key.
Their children are Abroad! So they can keep the schools closed for one year for their Campaign! So sad
Oh what a Lawless country we live in what’s has poor people done to deserve this you shutdown business and schools with out compensation where is the police tell me where in Nigerian law that authorizes school and market shutdown during anyone’s campaign
Same thing SANWO Olu did in Lagos
Delta State is Obidiently Yusful and my Gov knows that no amount of closure can change that.
It’s not an issue. He’s the Governor
That's too bad for our democracy. Why compel businesses that pay bills/taxes to close chops, while there are unemployed Party faithfuls that will attend the rallies? Politicians, respect the freedom of private business Owners struggling to make ends without any govt incentives
That’s not necessary now
Shame on PDP! Vote LP!
He has the power to do so.
If the governor shuts down your markets, school because of Atiku then you're the most miserable because you should have done that because of Biafra. The old Eastern region must wake-up if not, Fulani people will finish those who are still playing to the gallery.
Smh! Black men 😏
When I said this Okowa is a tyrant, his attack dogs came after me like vulture... Why force people to your unwanted rally because you are the Gorvenor u have power to do and undo?
Tyrants
So ogbogonogo market is shut like this? If these aren't traits of tyranny, I don't know what else is?
