“Some of the people he met in Abuja during the meeting tested positive for the virus.
“So, the governor did not contract the dreaded COVID-19 at the much talked about PDP unification rally in Ibadan. “He never showed any symptom of COVID 19 as at the time the rally was held and none of those who attended the rally has tested positive.”
