Former Presidential spokesperson, Dr Doyin Okupe, and his wife, Aduralere, have tested negative for Coronavirus and have been discharged from one of the isolation centres in Ogun State.
Okupe and his wife had tested positive for the virus on April 23.
After his discharge on Thursday, he thanked Governor Dapo Abiodun and medical personnel at the centre for their efforts and support.
He said, “On the 23rd of April, my wife, Aduralere, and I tested positive to COVID-19 virus. To the Glory of God we were discharged this morning after obtaining two negative reports.”
Okupe was the Special Assistant to former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, on Media and Publicity, and Senior Special Assistant to former President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs.
More so, while reacting to comments made on his Facebook wall, he said, ”It is sad the level of distrust in this country. Some people wrote on my Facebook wall that in spite of my post, that all the covid19 talk is a scam. And that I should post a video to convince them. Well I dont hv a video. But after our first negative results we felt relieved for the 1st time and my wife took some snapshots just for the record. It’s such a pity that we hv allowed things to degenerate to this level of citizens disconnect. By God’s Grace we shall rebuild this country and restore confidence in both leadership and government.”
