Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, wife of Ondo state governor, has
tested positive for COVID-19, according to a source at the Ondo government
house.
The source said the state’s first lady has gone on
self-isolation.
The development comes two days after the governor announced
that he had contracted the disease.
The source added that Oluwatoyin Adegbenro, wife of the late
commissioner for health, has also tested positive for COVID-19.
NigerianEye had earlier reported that Wahab Adegbenro, the late
commissioner, died from COVID-19 complications on Thursday.
She is said to be receiving treatment at the hospital of her
late husband in Akure, the state capital.
It is reported that four out of the 19 members of the
state house of assembly who followed Akeredolu to Abuja for the submission of
his re-election nomination form fell ill but refused to undergo COVID-19 test.
The results of the test conducted for commissioners, senior
special advisers, top political office holders in Ondo and other aides attached
to the governor’s office are yet to be released.
