The Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has tested positive for COVID-19.
The governor said he is sure of his status having done the test three consecutive times.
Fayemi, who is the chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), disclosed his COVID-19 status on Twitter Wednesday.
“I took my third Covid-19 test yesterday and it came back positive. I’m generally ok and I’m already self isolating at home and receiving the best of care from my medical team. I’m delegating critical tasks to my Deputy but will continue routine duty from home,” the post read.
Fayemi joins a list of governors who have tested positive for the virus, including Seyi Makinde of Oyo; Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo; Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, and Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna.
As of July 21, 2020, a total of 86 people had tested positive for coronavirus in Ekiti, out of which 47 recoveries and two deaths have been recorded.
