It is my belief that in compliance with the precautionary procedures, together we can stamp out this dreaded pandemic from our state and Nigeria.”
In the same vein, another Governorship aspirant, Isaacs Kekemeke commended Governor Akeredolu for disclosing his COVID- 19 status.

We thank God for the discovery at the assymptomatic stage. We must commend our Governor for this disclosure and for his decision to self-isolate immediately. This is fair, responsible and Godly.”
“By going into self-isolation, he has demonstrated concern and care for the health and welfare of those around him and those who will necessarily come into contact with him by virtue of his high office.”
“We pray for his quick recovery and urge all the people of this State and beyond to begin to offer special prayers for him. May God speak His healing words into his life.”The statement reads.
