Mohammed Atiku has revealed that he is doing ‘well and fine’ now and hopes to leave isolation soon.
About 2 weeks ago, his father Atiku Abubakar took to social media to reveal that he tested positive to coronavirus.
“On the 20th of (March), I tested positive for COVID-19 and I was brought over to the Isolation Centre at Gwagwalada University Teaching Hospital where I have been since,” Mohammed Atiku said during an interview with Arise News.
“I am currently on my 12th day here and I hope to be out soon – perhaps when my next test is taken and the results are favourable. I should be on my way out, hopefully.
“I decided to do this video so that I could speak about my experience to be of help particularly to Nigerians.
“I was asymptomatic in my first few days here and nervous; I had a level of anxiety and a little bit of trauma, especially being the index case here in Abuja. That was really the main challenge.
“But day by day, I grew stronger, thanks largely to all the goodwill and prayers and support I got from a vast array of Nigerians many of whom I don’t know. My family and friends too and a whole lot of people.
“I thank God I am well and good,” he continued
Furthermore, he urged people to stay at home and stay safe, and also avoid spreading fake news online which could make it worse.
According to him, staying uninfected will also do health workers who are in the frontline a lot of good.
