The Oyo State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Asiwaju Seun Fakorede took to his Twitter handle at the early hours of Friday morning to inform the populae of Oyo State that the result of his COVID-19 test came positive.

The statements issued was as given below;

"I tested positive for COVID-19 and I want you to know that there's no cause for any panic as I'm very well, safe and sound without any symptoms/breakdown.

Before the test result came in, I had no inkling that I was going to test positive. This was because, despite the demands of the office I occupy, I have been careful since COVID-19 crept into our world — I took the test just like others and didn’t nurse any fear. I was asymptomatic, I still am, and I remain fearless.

I have immediately followed and adhered strictly to the directives of the Incident Management for the Oyo State Response to the Coronavirus Pandemic. COVID-19 is not in anyway a death sentence — So, while I acknowledge my Principal, Governor Seyi Makinde, for the efforts he has put in place to tackle the pandemic, I want to further urge us all to continue to do everything to minimize the spread of this virus. I will remain in isolation till I fully recover, I will fight this, victoriously — please continue to comply with all the directives of the COVID-19 Task Force.

Stay safe!"
