EKO HOT BLOG reports that there is an outbreak of COVID-19 at Nigeria’s seat of power, with some presidential aides and other government officials testing positive.

According to Premium Times, those affected as the Permanent Secretary in the State House, Tijani Umar; the President’s Aide-de-camp (ADC), Yusuf Dodo; Chief Security Officer (CSO), Aliyu Musa, and the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.

The online newspaper said their results were confirmed positive during the week.

The report also said the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, is also affected.

Reports say that those affected aren’t seriously affected by the virus because they are fully vaccinated.

“I have no confirmation of the cases you mentioned, but yes I have been afflicted by the mild variant of the COVID-19. I felt okay from the beginning, maybe because one had received all three jabs, and right now, I feel 100 per cent. I just finished my hour-long running exercise.

“But the strange thing about this ailment is that it is the scientists, not you, that will say you are okay. Right now, I’m taking my prescriptions and isolating, and would go back for a test to ascertain if the virus is still here or it has left me. Thanks for your goodwill,” Premium Times quoted Garba Shehu as saying.
