According to him, there is nothing to fear; and no component of Government business will be adversely affected within the period of his self-isolation.
The statement added, “following constant exposure to visitors well as the flurry of visitors arising from the pressure of official functions and responsibilities, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN decided to subject himself to COVID-19 test. As you all know, the result has come out positive even as Mr Governor waited no time disclosing his status.
