Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, on Wednesday announced that he was ready to take the Coronavirus test.

Kyari has tested positive for the virus.

The governor said, “Having received news that one of the persons at a meeting I attended tested positive for #COVID-19, I have willingly volunteered to get tested for it in spite of the fact that many others at the said meeting tested negative to make assurance doubly sure. I am well and asymptomatic.

“The result of the test will be made public in due course.”
