The wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Ebelechukwu Osodieme Obiano, has received her first shot of COVID-19 vaccine in the United States.
The first lady was caught on camera while waiting in her car to receive the vaccine.
Ebele Obiano said that getting the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine is a mark to demonstrate the safety of the vaccine against negative speculations about it. She said it is to show the people of Anambra in particular and Nigerians in general that it is safe to take the vaccine.
“I’m doing this to demonstrate that people should be prepared when it’s available to take the vaccine. There’s nothing to worry about,” she said.
Ebele Obiano also confirmed in the live video that Nigeria has not commenced the distribution of coronavirus vaccine.
This is simply to corroborate the recent National Agency for Food and Drug Adminstration and Control (NAFDAC) warning, saying that there are evidence of fake vaccines being circulated in the country.
Reports making the rounds last week was that Governor Willie Obiano and his wife, Ebelechukwu had tested positive for COVID-19.
The report claimed that Obiano and his were infected with the virus after the wife of the Chief of Staff to the Governor; Mr Primus Odili who came from US to celebrate the Yuletide visited them.
But the Anambra state government denied the report saying it was not true.
