Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, has revealed that he ‘went through hell while in Covid-19 isolation for three weeks after testing positive.
The governor told journalists at Government House that the experience has changed his life forever.
“This disease that I was infected with is a terrible experience. I went through hell while in isolation for treatment,” he said.
“I felt like I was alone but the love, affection and prayers shown to me by the people of Bauchi State really kept me going.
“I thank Allah that I have now been freed from the virus. I am sorry for the inconveniences it might have caused to anybody in Bauchi and Nigeria, it has never been my wishes to be infected.
“I have received best wishes and prayers from many people across the divide, some of whom I do not even know.
“This show of love has strengthened my spirit to work hard and deliver dividends of democracy to the people of Bauchi State, and I can assure the people of Bauchi State that I will do exactly that.”
Mohammed thanked Nigerian leaders, emirs and religious leaders whom he said demonstrated rare love and affection to him.
He urged his well-wishers not to bother paying him a visit at the Government House, saying he has already acknowledged their prayers.
Mohammed was discharged last Thursday after testing negative twice to COVID-19.
He attended a Juma’at service on Friday even after he claimed to have gone through Hell While In Covid-19 Isolation although ignoring social distancing rules.
