BEVERLY HILLS, April 20, (THEWILL) – Nasiru El-rufai, the governor of Kaduna State, who tested positive for the coronavirus about three weeks ago, has refuted reports online that he is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of an undisclosed hospital in Lagos.
The often controversial governor, who posted a photo of himself alongside his rebuttal in a tweet Monday, wrote: “Earlier today, I took 2 hours out of isolation to attend the daily virtual meeting of State Standing Committee on COVID-19, chaired by Deputy Governor Dr Hadiza Balarabe.
“Since there is some fake news circulating that I am in an ICU in a Lagos hospital, a nice ICU picture will help debunk the evil news!
“For the avoidance of any doubt, I have been isolated for the past 24 days in a wing of the Government House, Kaduna undergoing treatment for coronavirus from doctors of the state ministry of health.”
“As the pictures show, I have not shaved since I went into isolation so that I will have a new COVID-19 look to remember when this pandemic passes, as it surely will by the Grace of God.”
