Actress Adesua Etomi-Wellington has blasted presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie on Twitter after Lauretta shared a photo on her Twitter handle calling on Nigerians to ensure they wear facemasks, IgbereTV reports.
Lauretta wrote on her Twitter handle:
”WEARING A MASK IS NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT. ITS NOT PUNISHMENT BY GOVERNMENT PROTECT YOURSELF.
Wear one.
These have made efforts with masking where those of us who are more vulnerable & susceptible to COVID-19 are still swearing that it’s a scam. God bless their efforts”

Adesua saw the photo of the little children and was angry. Reacting to Onochie’s post, Adesua wrote:
”You are a disgrace. Both home & abroad. You should be ashamed that these children have to do this with cardboards. Instead of talking about how to tackle poverty so they can be protected adequately against the virus, you’re spewing this nonsense.”
