NATIONAL CHAIRMAN, Adams
Oshiomhole, directed staff to stay at home for two weeks to prevent the spread
of coronavirus
The National Chairman gave the directive on Monday the APC
national secretariat, Abuja.
According to Oshiomhole, the closure was in line with the Federal
Government directive ordering that people should stay away from large
congregations and social gatherings.
“This is just a preventive measure that the party has taken by
closing down the secretariat for about two weeks so that we can manage the
situation at hand.
“But if it persists, then we will have to extend the holidays
because we need to remain alive to be able to serve the country as a whole and
members of the party.
“It is no longer a secret that we are facing a pandemic all over
the world and Nigeria has its own share of the coronavirus, although it is not
as bad as in other countries.
“But clearly the number is increasing as it is said, prevention is
better than cure,” APC chairman said.
“This is because I am not sure how many of you have private cars.
Some of you use public transport to come to work which at this moment could be
dangerous.
“I don’t think we will want to take any risk so we have decided to
close the office,” he said.
He, however, assured staff at the National Secretariat that their
salaries would be paid to them even when they were at home.
