Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo state, has tested
positive for COVID-19.
Akeredolu disclosed his COVID-19 status on his Facebook page
on Tuesday.
The governor said he is already in self-isolation as
required by the case management guidelines of the Nigeria Centre for Disease
Control (NCDC) for someone who is asymptomatic.
“Akeredolu tests positive for COVID-19. Earlier today, I got
confirmation of a positive result for Covid-19. I am asymptomatic and not
displaying any symptoms,” he said.
“I am currently self-isolating and supervised home
management will be administered by the wonderful team at our Infectious Disease
Hospital. I ask that we all stay safe and be well.”
Akeredolu joins a growing list of top public officers who
have tested positive for the disease. They include Abba Kyari, the chief of
staff to President Muhammadu Buhari; Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna; Bala
