Our Covid-19 Positive Story – Doyin Okupe, Wife

Former Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to former President Goodluck Jonathan and spokesman for former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has narrated his Covid-19 experience after testing positive to the dreaded virus.

Relaying his experience, Dr Okupe said, “On the 23rd of April, my wife, Aduralere and I tested positive to Covid-19 virus. That same day we were moved to the isolation ward facilities in Sagamu. Glory be to God Almighty Jehovah and His Son Jesus Christ through whose blood that was shed for us at Calvary and by whose stripes we became healed and tested negative twice to the Covid-19 virus. We were discharged from the isolation centre, in the early hours of today”.
“I want to thank profusely my cousin and Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, who sent me prayers very regularly in spite of his busy schedule as Chief Executive of Ogun State. I thank the Honourable Commissioner of of Health, Dr. Tomi Coker, who was a flower girl at my wedding in 1977. I also thank the Health workers under the leadership of Dr. Olaitan and Dr. Ayeni. It is incredible what dangerous and sometimes demeaning sacrifices they paid, including very long hours of work stretching for a week at a time, all to ensure that we their patients under their care live. My wife and I are grateful to you all.”
“I am grateful to All my Spiritual Fathers including the Primate of the Church of the Lord, His Eminence, Most Reverend R. O. Oshitelu. My life long Pastor, spiritual father and mentor, Rev Joe Olaiya. Ministers of God, Pastors Kilani, Adeoti, Adegbite, Bishop Lawal, Pastor Fayomia, Prophet Israel and a host of others, who all tirelessly prayed with and for us daily round the clock.  I thank my family and all my children and especially my brothers Owo, Wemi and Larry, and sisters Aina Okanlawon and Bisola Ayeni, for their love, care and support in very trying and perplexing times. I thank my uncle Odole Oodua Chief Kessington Adebutu, who in spite of his age, called me daily. I want to thank my aburo, Hon Ladi Adebutu, for his care and support throughout this turbulence.”
“To the very few other political associates and close family  friends, chief among whom are my dearest blood brothers, Dr  Seyi Roberts, Dr Leke Oshunniyi and Deinde Abolarin. May the Almighty God bless and recompense you all immensely. May God in His Mercies heal all our people in various centres throughout the country and may it please Him to rid our Nation of this dangerous scourge. May He continue to endow our present leaders the competence of wisdom to direct the ship of our nation throughout this turbulence. God bless Nigeria!” Doyin Okupe concluded.
