Reactions have continued to trail the news that the governor of Abia state, Okekie Ikpeazu tested positive for COVID-19.

The commissioner of information in the state, Okekie Ikpeazu, in a statement, on Monday, said the governor has gone into isolation, having handed over power to the deputy governor, Hon Ude Oko Chukwu.

Abia recorded the highest confirmed cases of COVID-19, on Sunday, 7th June, 2020, with 67 cases, making the total confirmed cases in the state to 83.

Mixed reactions have trailed the news that Ikpeazu has tested positive for COVID-19, on the microblogging platform, Twitter.

Some section of Twitter users criticized the governor for handling the COVID-19 pandemic in the state with kid gloves, however some wished him quick recovery.

Many twitter users also chided the governor for allegedly taking treatment in Abuja and not using any one of the isolation centres provided by the Abia State Government in the state.

GWG gathered the following tweets:

Ikpeazu, Abia governor, tests positive for COVID-19…

May God grant him and others speedy recovery?

Ikpeazu has since been in Abuja, secretly receiving treatment. How did he get to Abuja during interstate lockdown?

Why isn't he receiving treatment in those 'isolation centres' himself and his coterie of liars claimed they made ready in Abia?

I'm Igbo and I'm thoroughly ashamed of Gov Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, very ashamed of Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State and ashamed of Gov Willie Obiano of Anambra State. I believe we should hold our governors to account just like we hold those of other's. We deserve better.

What stopped Okezie Ikpeazu – a Governor, from using the #COVID19 isolation centers he set up in his own state? Instead he ran to Abuja where he felt he will be treated better. Is there anything, he's not telling us? It's obvious he doesn't trust himself and i weep for Abia

Now Gov Okezie Ikpeazu has tested positive, I wish he gets moved to that shit isolation centre in Aba..

Okezie Ikpeazu test positive to Dust Bin and not Covid-19. NCDC need to redo the test, am sure its smell not Corrona.
