He was said to have been confirmed positive and was managing the situation at home before the illness worsened and he had to go to the hospital.

A source close to the family told the Punch that the former governor had an underlying ailment which was making it difficult for him to get better.

He said, “The former governor has been in hospital for two weeks and his condition is not getting better but we are hoping for the best. The irony is that the person whom we believe he contracted the disease from has been discharged.

“However, the former governor has an underlying ailment which is slowing down his recovery. We hope he recovers soon.”
