Okechukwu,
You call an insistence on the rule of law at all times "unnecessary fault-finding and quibbling over minor detail"? Haba! So, this your "primary function of government" cannot be performed under the ambit of the law?
The government simply had to declare "state of emergency on health" and the President and the governors would be doing what they are doing presently in your "primary function of government" under "emergency rules". This is what happens during wars. "Emergency rules" are legitimate as you ought to know. I suspect that why they did not do this is because "the advanced countries did not do that".
I just hope that we would not have an explosion of class (legal)actions bordering on abridgment of civil rights(rights of movement, association, means of livelihood, etc) as prescribed in (not suspended) sections of our constitution.
Thank you for your time.
CAO.
