Okowa’s daughter had tested positive for the virus last week, prompting him and his wife to go into quarantine.
He now joins the growing list of governors and top political figures in the country already infected with the virus.
Yesterday, governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu also announced that he had tested positive. Others like Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna, have recovered from the virus, while Abia State governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu is still on the road to recovery.
