Former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has described how his family deserted him after he tested positive for Covid19.
He made the announcement on Friday, 5th of March at a colloquium to commemorate his 84th birthday at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
He added that three days after he tested positive, he tested negative after undergoing another examination.
According to him, “It will surprise you that I tested positive for covid19. I called them to come and test me. They came on a Saturday, I didn’t get the result till Wednesday and it came out positive but I didn’t see any symptoms.
“When they came three days after, they tested me and said I am negative, that is three days after I tested positive.
“My daughter, Iyabo, is an epidemiologist and I called her to explain. She said maybe they tested me at the later stage of bing positive.
“I told her I had no symptoms and she said it could be a faulty result. But I tested positive. Since then, I have been tested three times and the test came back negative. So if you want to come near me, you can come near me.’
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo added that “It is nothing to worry about. When I tested positive, my household ran from me. I told them to stay in their place while I stayed in mine.”
