“I have just received my second consecutive negative result,” Mr Atiku-Abubakar told PR on Monday afternoon. “My discharge is currently being processed, and I hope to be home this evening.”
Mr Atiku-Abubakar was first confirmed to have contracted the virus on March 19 and was subsequently transferred to an isolation centre on the outskirts of the Nigerian capital, Abuja.
According to Premium Times, the 31-year-old, however, failed to test negative for the virus until today, a 40-day ordeal that experts said could be amongst the longest ever recorded in the country.
