Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that he tested positive for COVID-19.
He revealed this during his 84th birthday celebration on Friday, March 5, 2021. According to him, his staff were running away from him
He said;
“I called them to come and test me, they came on a Saturday, I didn’t get the result until Wednesday and it came out positive but I didn’t see any symptoms.”
Obasanjo revealed that he tested negative three days after he was declared positive and has tested negative since then.
They came three days after they tested me and said I am negative — that is three days after I tested positive.
“My daughter, Iyabo is an epidemiologist and I called her to explain, she said maybe they tested me at the later stage of my being positive.
“I told her that I had no symptoms and she said it could be a faulty result.
“But I was tested positive. Since then, I have tested three times negative; so, if you want to come near me, you can come near me.
“It is nothing to worry about, when I was tested positive, my household was running from me, I told them to stay in their place while I stay in mine.”
