The former Lagos State governor and the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his wife, Remi, have tested negative to Coronavirus.
This followed the death of Lateef Raheem, the late Chief Security Officer to Tinubu, who had COVID-19.
In a statement on Monday by spokesperson to Tinubu, Tunde Rahman, the late CSO whose death was announced last Friday died of the virus and not diabetes as believed by some.
The statement reads, “Following the death of our well-respected and beloved Chief Security Officer, Alhaji Lateef Raheem, NCDC medics took the wise precaution of taking samples from his body for testing to actually determine the cause of death.
“Today, the test results are back. The samples tested positive for COVID-19.
