Godwin Obaseki, Governor of Edo state has made decision to self-quarantine in his home after having contact with the Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Muhammed and Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, who have both tested positive for coronavirus.
BIGPEN understands the governor will be tested regularly over the coming days and will continue to conduct his duties as governor from home until his blood sample which has been sent for testing is out.
Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr. Crusoe Osagie, confirmed the development on Wednesday in a statement, saying the governor has sent his samples for testing.
Osagie said, “The governor has gone into self-isolation after the Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed and Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, tested positive for coronavirus.
