Governor Nasiru Ahmed El-Rufa’i of Kaduna State has debunked insinuations that he was free of the covid-19 infection.
The governor, on his twitter handle, said he had not been cleared of Covid-19.
Some residents along Kawo Road near the old Kawo market in Kaduna had earlier alleged that they sighted someone like El-Rufa’i in the area, near his late uncle’s house indicating that the governor’ was okay.
However,the governor in his tweet said “earlier Wednesday 10am-2pm, I took few hours during isolation to chair a virtual meeting of the State Executive Council.”
“I haven’t been cleared of Covid-19 yet & will personally announce when confirmed negative. Ignore all fake news even if you like it.-@elrufaiKADUNA UPDATE: I am grateful to our team ably led by the Deputy Governor for keeping the Goverment going without me. ”
“I am super proud of all our Commissioners, SSG, Senior aides, Advisers, Assistants, security agency and other government officials for a job well done,” he said. (Text and photo courtesy Vanguard)
