Covid-19: APC Shuts Office, Sends Staff On Leave
By GWG Staff
As part of its effort towards ensuring social distancing, the All Progressives Congress, APC has resolved to close down its national secretariat.
National chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole disclosed this while addressing staff of the party at the national secretariat on Monday. He said the closure will be for two weeks at the first instance.
He said:
“This is just a preventive measure the party has taken by closing down the Secretariat for about two weeks so 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.
“We, as APC leaders must be seen to obey the federal government’s rules. 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 other countries but clearly the numbers are increasing. As it is said, prevention is better than cure.
“We had a conversation among ourselves, we the NWC, and decided to come up with this decision to shut down 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 and I don’t think we will want to take any risk so we have decided to close the office.”
