Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, said that he did isolate himself upon his return to the country because he conducted four COVID-19 tests in two weeks.
OYOINSIGHT.COM recalls that the governor faced backlash from residents for refusing to self isolate following his return from a foreign trip last week.
Explaining why, the governor, in a recent interview, said: “Between the 29th of December and three days ago, I have had four COVID-19 tests. I did one on 29th to enable me to leave Nigeria. When I got to the U.S. because I was flew through Dubai, they had a 96-hour window and asked me to run another test otherwise I could not fly.
“I did another one on the 3rd of January because my flight out was on the 6th of January but the result did not come out until the morning of the 7th. They did not allow me to fly on the 6th. The result came out on the 7th but it was more than 96 hours. So, I still could not fly. I had to do another test on the morning of the 7th, which came same day and I got on the flight on the 7th and arrived in Dubai. That was the third test.”
