Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Sunday supervised the demolition of two hotels in Eleme and Onne for violating the Executive state government orders.
The hotels which were affected was Prudent Hotel, Alode in Eleme, and Etemeteh Hotel in Onne.
It was sad that this hotels were said to have been operating despite the executive order barring all hotels in the 23 LGAs of the state from opening for business to check the spread of COVID-19.
"Government has no alternative but to apply the Executive order, which I signed before the lockdown of Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt.
"I called all the traditional rulers and council chairmen and told them to ensure that no hotel operates in the state.
"We are not saying it will be forever. This is for now, so that we know where we are. To reduce the cases and check the spread.
"Whether you are PDP or not, all we are saying is that nobody is above the law. If we can do this to a PDP person, then you know we are not discriminatory.
"Everyone must obey. Whether you are in PDP, SDP or no party, you must obey the law. If any other person does the same thing, the same rule will apply," he said.
