Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and his wife Edith and daughter have recovered from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the governor said on Tuesday.
Mr Okowa said on Twitter that other members of his family also tested negative for the virus.
“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,” he wrote.
Okowa appealed to Delta residents “to obey all instructions/regulations in our collective fight to stop the transmission of the virus.”
Their recovery comes 13 days after the governor announced he and wife had tested positive for COVID-19, just days after their daughter tested positive.
