Taking to his Twitter account, he beseeched President Buhari to activate stimulus packages for Nigerians as they are made to stay at home for 2 weeks. He wrote:
”Dear President @MBuhari Pls provide an economic relief package for Nigerians, even if it’s 50k each, it will go a long way. People are hungry, locked down with no money, begging left, right & centre. With a situation like this, it’ll be difficult to keep people at home.“
