Former vice presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has hailed Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, for declaring his coronavirus (COVID-19) status.
Mr Obi said in a tweet on Wednesday that the governor’s action was a sign of exemplary leadership.
He added that he would be praying for Mr Makinde’s recovery and for others infected with the virus.
“My dear brother @seyiamakinde, your public disclosure of your COVID-19 status is an exemplary show of leadership,” the former Anambra State governor wrote.
“I, and my family, and indeed Nigerians of goodwill are earnestly praying for your quick recovery, and the recovery of others infected with the virus.”
Makinde announced he tested positive for COVID-19 on March 30, though he was asymptomatic.
Other governors who have declared that they tested positive are Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna and Bala Mohammed of Bauchi.
