Governor Kayode Fayemi of
Ekiti State has tested negative coronavirus.
Some of the governor’s close associates, who pleaded anonymity, disclosed the development to KAFTANPost.
Mr Fayemi is among a long-list of prominent Nigerians who made contact with President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari and Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State who have both tested positive.
The Chairman Nigeria Governors Forum then announced that he would self-isolate on Wednesday.
“I just took a CoviD 19 test, having gone into self-isolation since yesterday evening,” he tweeted.
“I’m asymptomatic and feel well, but I was in meetings with two people who had since tested positive. I look forward to an all-clear and have encouraged all my colleagues to take the test.”
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control on Thursday revealed that the country’s confirmed cases have crossed half-century, with 51.
