Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has directed Ondo State Commissioners and other aides to test for COVID-19 after announcement of his positive status.
Akeredolu gave the directive as part of efforts to curtail COVID-19 spread as state in collaboration with Nigeria Centre for Diseases Control (NCDC) commence contact tracing.
Meanwhile, a leading Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant, Eyitayo Jegede (SAN) has urged Ondo State Governor to stay strong as he battles the coronavirus.
Jegede in a statement he personally signed said: ‘This afternoon, the Governor of our Dear State, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN reported that he tested positive to the rampaging #COVID19. At this period my prayers are with the Governor.
”As I wish him full and speedy recovery, I enjoin Arakunrin to continue to draw strength from the unbending will of our shared humanity to defeat this scourge.”
Recall that Akeredolu announced his COVID-19 on Tuesday via a Facebook post.
