Nigerians on social media platforms have reacted after Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, announced that he tested positive for coronavirus.

El-rufai had taken to his Twitter page on Saturday to share a video where he disclosed his status for COVID-19.

The development makes him the second governor to test positive for the killer virus in Nigeria, after Bala Mohammed, his counterpart in Bauchi state.

Nigerians have since taken to the microblogging platform to wish the governor speedy recovery.
