I advise all my compatriots out there to take this pandemic very seriously. Stay away from unnecessary contacts, stay at home if you can, use sanitizers & masks. Above all, obey medical advice and Government directives.I cherish your support and prayers, please,” the message read.

On his part, the former Speaker wished the governor and President Buhari’s Chief of Staff who also tested positive to the virus quick recovery.

“My brother, Governor Bala Mohammed, I have tried unsuccessfully to reach you after hearing of the devastating news. You, Malam Abba Kyari and all those affected are in our prayers. May God take control and bring healing like he has done for many. Wishing you all quick recovery”, Dogara said.
