Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu says he has “willingly volunteered” to get tested for the coronavirus disease, covid-19.
This is coming amid criticisms from different quarters on why the Governor has refused to self-isolate himself having been in contact with people who have tested positive to the novel coronavirus.
The Precision NG gathered that Akeredolu was in a meeting in Abuja last week with other governors in the country. One of the governors has now tested positive.
Governors of Ekiti and Niger states who were also at the meeting had since gone on self-isolation while their samples have been obtained for laboratory tests.
