Oyo State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Asiwaju Seun Fakorede has tested negative for COVID-19 (Coronavirus) after his fifth test.
Fakorede, who is also the youngest commissioner in Nigeria’s history, had on the 26th of June announced that he tested positive for Coronavirus without any symptoms/breakdown.
Special Assistant to the commissioner, Nosa Semota confirmed to P.M News that Fakorede’s fifth test eventually came negative.
Recall that on June 26, 2020, in a string of tweets, the 28-year-old Commissioner said he tested positive for the ravaging disease but he was asymptomatic.
“I tested positive for COVID-19 and I want you to know that
there’s no cause for any panic as I’m very well, safe and sound without any
symptoms/breakdown.
“Before the test result came in, I had no inkling that I was
going to test positive. This was because, despite the demands of the office I
occupy, I have been careful since COVID-19 crept into our world — I took the
test just like others and didn’t nurse any fear.”
“I was asymptomatic, I still am, and I remain fearless.
“I have immediately followed and adhered strictly to the
directives of the Incident Management for the Oyo State Response to the
Coronavirus Pandemic.
“COVID-19 is not in any way a death sentence — So, while I
acknowledge my Principal, Governor Seyi Makinde, for the efforts he has put in
place to tackle the pandemic, I want to further urge us all to continue to do
everything to minimize the spread of this virus.
“I will remain in isolation till I fully recover, I will fight
this, victoriously — please continue to comply with all the directives of the
COVID-19 Task Force. Stay safe!”
