Ikpeazu speaks after testing positive for COVID-19 infection
The Governor tested positive for the COVID-19 disease and has since gone into isolation.
However, in a press release issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Onyebuchi Ememanka, and made available to newsmen in Umuahia, Monday morning, Ikpeazu said that his decision to present himself for a second test was to remove all doubts about his status, after testing negative initially. According to the release, “The Governor who has already commenced self-isolation under the careful watch of experienced medical personnel directed that the Deputy Governor, Sir Ude Oko Chukwu shall hold the forte in his absence”.
Some of the churches visited along Ikot Ekpene Road, Ihie Ndume in Umuahia North failed to observe the rules, including Streams of Joy and Salvation Ministries.
