Atiku's Son Finally Discharged From Isolation Centre, Gives Revelation

Former Nigeria Vice President, Atiku Abubakar

Mohammed, the son of former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has been released from the Isolated center after he recouped completely from COVID-19. 

Mohammed, who tested positive for COVID-19 a month ago, went through 40 days in the isolation office. 

He personally made this announcement after he left the hospital, where he expressed gratitude toward Nigerians for the help and prayers and begged them to continue appealing to God for those as yet to be discharged for the pandemic that had murdered 40 Nigerians. 

He said his release from the hospital couldn't have come at a superior time than in the month of Ramadan, a season set apart by penance and supplication to the Almighty Allah.

He said:

“I thank the Almighty Allah for my recovery from the dreaded infection and also wish to express my sincere and deep appreciation to Nigerians for their prayers and goodwill while I was being treated.

“In the course of life, we have no idea of what will happen to us because only the Almighty God knows our future.

“When COVID-19 first broke out in faraway China, I had no idea that I might be one of those to be infected. This is one of the everlasting lessons I can’t forget for the rest of my life.

“I have been humbled by this experience. Words cannot sufficiently convey the depth of my joy over my recovery and discharge."

While praising the efforts of the medical team in the fight against the ravaging COVID-19, Mohammed added that the global pandemic has also helped in uniting the world, including the rich and the poor.

“Since I tested positive after my return from abroad and my isolation for treatment, I was inundated with incredible expressions of goodwill by Nigerians. 

“This pandemic has united the rich and the poor and, indeed, the rest of the world against this novel lethal virus that has caused economic and social disruptions globally.

“No matter our problems, however, we shouldn’t lose hope in our own country. Despite the limitations of our health system, the Federal Ministry of Health and Nigeria Centre for Disease Control have done tremendously well.

“Our doctors, nurses, and other front line health workers also deserve accolades for their sacrifices and professionalism during this challenging period of our country.

“Every epidemic or pandemic comes with its lessons. The coronavirus has caught the world off guard and sent us reeling for solutions. It also reveals the weaknesses of our health systems in the developing world. It is an eye-opening experience for Nigeria and other developing nations.

“Thanks to coronavirus outbreak, we are now coming to terms with the necessity of adequate funding of our healthcare system. This disease has brought the rich, the poor, and the powerful to a common level.” (NAN)
