COVID-19: Tension As Anambra Governor, Obiano Self-Isolates

There is tension in Anambra State following the self Isolation of Governor Willie Obiano for the past eleven days

Briefing reporters on Monday at the Government House in Awka, Secretary to the State, Prof Solo Chukwulobelu and the Chief of Staff, Chief Primus Odili, said Obiano had been on Isolation for the past eleven days.

The duo said the Governor decided to Isolate himself having sat next to the Bauchi State Governor during the last National Executive Council NEC meeting

However, they said there was no cause for alarm as the Governor had not developed any form of symptom since then, adding “he is hale and hearty”.

“The governor was at the NEC meeting on Thursday, and you know how the sitting arrangement is, after the Anambra State governor, you get the Bauchi State governor, who has announced his status recently.

“But if you are aware of the sitting arrangement during the meeting, you will find out that they usually observe social distancing. That you are in a hall with a man who has the disease does not mean that you can be infected.

“The governor is a very enlightened person, and because he knows he has been in a meeting with such Calibre of people, he decided to go into self-quarantine.

“Obiano is on self-quarantine. I have not seen him for the past one week, and we only talk on phone. We had two hours meeting yesterday (Sunday) using zoom. There are no fears about his health at all,” the officials said.
