Ekiti, Oyo commissioners recover from COVID-19

The Ekiti State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Olawale Fapohunda, and the Oyo State Commissioner for Information Culture and Tourism, Dr Wasiu Olatubosun, have both recovered from COVID-19.

The pair made this known in separate statements on Sunday.

“Thankful for all the prayers and words of encouragement. My two separate COVID-19 tests returned negative. I am up and walking about. To God be the Glory,” Fapohunda wrote on Twitter.

The Ekiti Attorney General had on July 26, 2020, disclosed on his Twitter handle that he tested positive for COVID-19 and went into isolation.

The disclosure was made a few days after the state governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, tested positive for the virus, following which he ordered members of his cabinet and aides to go for COVID-19 test to ascertain their statuses.

Fayemi, however, tested negative after 11 days in isolation.

Meanwhile, Olatubosun announced his new status after 46 days in isolation.

He said the Oyo State Emergency Operation Centre and the medical team of the COVID-19 Task Force gave him a clean bill of health after testing negative twice.

Olatubosun said, “I will like to give thanks to the Almighty God for showing me mercy during this period and as always, my sincere appreciation also goes to the chairman of the task force in the state, Governor Seyi Makinde, for his unrelenting support during my one and a half months in isolation.

“I cannot forget in a hurry the support from religious leaders, most especially the National Council of Muslim Youth Organizations, the Christian Association of Nigeria, the League of Imams and Alfas as well as the traditionalists.”
