” I shared on my twitter handle my COVID-19 results which came out  to be positive. I have decided to do this for the generality of Ekiti people and to reassure everyone that I am okay.

“I have basically isolated myself , which is the protocol , but only see my doctor. I want to tell our people that COVID-19 is real , if there are people out there who still think there is nothing like that, it is real.

” So, it is important you wear your face masks, wash your hands regularly and maintain social distancing at every opportunity and keep to yourself, that is the least we can do.

” We can  only care, it is God who heals. I thank our people for their solidarity and effusive messages of prayers that  I have received across Ekiti , Nigeria and even from outside Nigeria.

” I shall come out of this health challenge and  be physically back to  duty to render services to Ekiti. Thank you”, the governor said.
