SENIOR SPECIAL ADVISER TO THE PRESIDENT ON MEDIA AND PUBLICITY, GARBA SHEHU, RECOVERS FROM COVID-19.
The Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has recovered from COVID-19. Shehu announced his recovery in a Facebook post on Wednesday, barely a week after he confirmed his initial positive status. Reports had emerged that some of President Muhammadu Buhari’s aides have gone into isolation after they tested positive for COVID-19. Despite being fully vaccinated, he disclosed that he had mild symptoms of the disease, a trait connected with the omicron variant.
On the other hand, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, stated that he was neither in isolation nor receiving treatment for the disease, contrary to reports suggesting he was positive for the virus. Reacting to the COVID concerns within the Presidential Villa, another presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, said there was nothing abnormal about the President’s aides testing positive for COVID-19. Adesina, who is the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, stressed that they were just humans like every other person.
