He tweeted;
I am deeply moved by your prayers and support throughout this period. I am so thankful. This evening, I received my second negative test result for COVID-19.
I especially thank Prof Temitope Alonge, who acted in my stead as Head of the Oyo State COVID-19 Task Force.

It would be recalled that on March 30, Oyo state Governor announced on Twitter that he tested positive for coronavirus.
There are unconfirmed reports that the Governor contracted the virus during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) mega rally held in Ibadan that had hundreds of people in attendance.
He had come under censure from Nigerians for allowing and participating in an event that exposed several number of people to the danger of Coronavirus.
The Governor, however, apologized for rally held, saying he regretted his actions.
