The governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu<\/a> on Tuesday announced the COVID-19 test results of his family members and those of his aides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governor said his test results for the dreaded virus, that of his wife, Nkechi and their children all returned negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He however, said it was unfortunate that the results for his aides returned with two of them confirmed positive for coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ikpeazu stated this in a statement he released on Tuesday and made available to newsmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLeading this battle from the front as your Governor, I and all members of the first family subjected ourselves to COVID-19 tests on Saturday, May 30, 2020 and the results came out negative today (Tuesday).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnfortunately, results of two of my aides who also subjected themselves to COVID-19<\/a> tests were positive while others turned in negative results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are confident that within days, the currently asymptomatic positive patients who are now isolated will be successfully nursed back to good health, with God on our side.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ikpeazu instructed all local government chairmen and their deputies in the state to equally reveal their COVID-19 test results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
