“I am not aware of what the treatment protocol his Excellency, Oyo state governor had to test negative.
“I am not even aware of where he was treated. I will even need that information to make a categorical statement,” the minister said.
It would be recalled that Governor Makinde said he has recovered from the coronavirus after testing negative for the disease twice.
Makinde broke the news in a tweet late on Sunday, April 5, and thanked the people of the state for their prayers.
The governor later revealed how he fought coronavirus while in isolation after recovering from COVID-19.
In a telephone interview with Fresh FM radio station in Ibadan on Monday, April 6, the Oyo state governor disclosed that he fought the deadly virus with carrots, vitamin C and black seed oil, and honey.
“My very good friend and brother, Dr Muyideen Olatunji is the one in charge of the primary healthcare for Oyo state.
"He came to me and said, look, I am going to send to you this black seed oil, it boosts immunity. So, I mixed it with honey and took one teaspoon in the morning and one in the evening," the governor said.
