Statement below:

“First of all, my father and the entire family are praying for Excellency, Nasir El-rufai and all those infected with COVID-19.
“Governor El-rufai submitted himself to the test out of the abundance of caution as he had no symptoms.
“ As for my father, on March 25, he and our mothers submitted samples for the COVID-19 tests. These samples were taken under the supervision of Dr Alero Roberts, Vice Chairman of public health professionals.
“On March 27, he confirmed that all the tests results were negative. We hope this information allays the concerns of those who are asking.
“However, my father would urge Nigerians to stop reacting to adverse test results as if they were death sentence.”
