Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has revealed that every member of his household is free from covid-19, as they all test negative to the dreaded virus.
Recall that on July 1st, the Governor of Delta State revealed that he and his wife had tested positive for the virus and were going into isolation. The news came days after he announced his daughter had also tested positive for the novel Coronavirus.
Announcing that they are now free and have tested negative, the governor in a recent social media post, wrote;
“My wife, my daughter and I have tested negative for COVID 19, along with other members of the family. We give God all praise and wish to appreciate all who have interceded for us in prayers.
I appeal to all residing in Delta to obey all instructions/ regulations in our collective fight to stop the transmission of the virus. God bless you all…Sen, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa”
The governor who admitted that 2020 has been a challenging year, had celebrated his birthday next to his wife in isolation, but kept positive in all.
Urging the people of delta state to stay safe, the governor took to his official Instagram page to state;
“This past year has been full of ups and downs — for everyone. My family included.
However, today, as I celebrate a new year — isolating alongside my beautiful wife, Edith, I am grateful for the mercy of Almighty God over my family, my administration and most importantly, our great state, Delta.
We have all faced challenges due to this pandemic, however, we have addressed them head-on, knowing fully well that we will all emerge better and stronger from this.
As I have reiterated throughout this pandemic: I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that we will get through this together.
Therefore, today, my deepest prayer is for God to protect all of us, guide us in all our affairs, and show humanity his abundant mercy and grace as we collectively battle COVID-19.
Again, I urge you and your loved ones to please #StaySafe, and I thank you all for the birthday wishes!”
