Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, has been moved to Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, for intensive care after testing positive for Coronavirus earlier this week.

According to insider sources, the governor is being treated at his home in Abuja with a sizable number of medical personnel on the ground to ensure he gets the best care possible.

Apart from medical staff on the ground to attend to him, it was gathered that the Abia State governor also arrived Abuja with a retinue of aides and security personnel, some of whom are believed to have tested positive for the virus as well.

SaharaReporters gathered that Ikpeazu has kidney failure and has been undergoing dialysis, thereby further complicating his situation and threatening his chances of making a full recovery from COVID-19.

Before now, there were attempts to fly the Abia governor abroad for treatment but following the ban on international flights in many countries around the world and his positive status of the virus, that idea was frustrated and the decision to move him to Abuja was reached.

In March, Ikpeazu was reported to have been trapped in the United States following the travel restriction put in place to contain the spread of the virus but the Abia Government dismissed the report as false.

Recall that on March 22, 2020, Governor Ikpeazu said that the state will not record any Coronavirus case because it was the only state mentioned in the Holy Bible.

He said, “Abia is the only state that is mentioned in the Bible. We have a promise from God that none of these diseases will touch God’s people. And I hold on to God’s promise.

“We saw Ebola, it did not get to us. We saw monkeypox, it didn’t get to us. Even this one (COVID-19) will also pass us by.”

As a result of his current situation, Governor Ikpeazu has since directed Ude Chukwu, his deputy, to act in his capacity until he recovers.

Abia State so far has 83 cases of Coronavirus while seven persons have recovered from the pandemic.

Ok..... Same way Abba Kyari used and kicked a bucket. ..

I pray he'd overcome this Chinese virus ....

I pray covid19 treats him the way he has treated Abia state
Why didn't he receive treatment in the isolation center he built, or they are for the masses,

Okezie Ikpeazu tested positive for coronavirus after saying Covid-19 won't harm them because Abia state is the only state in Nigeria mentioned in the bible

Even in Jerusalem where Jesus Christ was born has 3,916 confirmed cases.

No standard government hospital in the whole Abia state, health worker are owed backlog of salaries
When they have headache, they run to world class facilities abroad built by reasonable leaders
Now they can't travel as usual, we are all stuck here, covid19 is a leveller
I PRAY HE RECOVERS, AND LEARNS HIS LESSON...... CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME
I HOPE OTHER GOVERNORS ARE TAKING NOTES

KORO IS DOING A GOOD JOB

My prayers are with him , his family and his aides at the moment....

May God grant him and the others total healing Amen

This Is not sounding like a good Prognosis.
I said it before, covid19 does not pity obsese patients, if renal failure is added, one can only ask God for his mercies.

All these our zoo politicians with zero IQ need to learn from COVID-19. even as I type this, resident Doctors are beign owed!!

You plan to fly him abroad, yet you all wonder why there is racism in 2020, when a governor of an oil producing country can not boast of a single functioning hospital... Why will the white man respect you?

Fix your health care system, fix your country! Where you just, can't as it is, then you remove your leprosy fingers let the damn entity disintegrate into manageable federations.

Kerosene man don see oba.

I pray for God's healing upon your life

Get well soon your Excellency.

BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO BAD PEOPLE.

Build hospitals in your state ; mbanu, this Abia people will enjoy good medical care like me and my family therefore, I will not build. Now the chicken has come home to roost. I wish you what you wish yourself

I warned him against remsidivir, he should have opted for the chloroquine or Artemisinin ( Madagascan)route or better still called someone like me ...I pray he makes it out alive

Kidney failure at the stage of undergoing dialysis is deadly on it's own, talk more Covid getting hold of such system...

Godspeed Ikpeazu... you may not be anything close to an able Governor, but get well soon..

You're a sadist

No pity for nigerian governors.

He has been governor for five years o, but could not build a standard hospital in his state.

He should get well soon

seems like Covid-19 has a special way of treating those leaders who speak of it anyhow. After all the gra gra look at how his life is now threatened by the koro he said will not do shit in Abia

This is the definition of Double Wahala.

May God heal the Guv in his infinite mercies.
We pray he gets back to his feet soon.

Nobody is above inflection!

True.
That's why y'all need to be very careful hygiene-wise and get your handwashing game on point.

Smartypant:
Wow
And some kids on NL still think it's all a HOAX like their dotard dear leader Trump. Smh

Kids, that is what they are!
We call them Nairaland kids.
