There is palpable fear in the Aso Rock Presidential Villa among its staff especially those in the office of the Chief of Staff.
This followed the reported testing positive to the dreaded Coronavirus by the CoS to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr. Abba Kyari.
Some staff at the State House that got wind of the Chief of Staff COVID-19 status, on Tuesday, were seen physically panicking.
However, the Presidency has been silent over the status of the President Buhari and Mr. Kyari over the Coronavirus tests carried out on them.
Reports had it that the results of the Coronavirus tests carried out by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), on President Buhari, on Monday, was negative, while that of his Chief of Staff was said to be positive.
The NCDC reportedly informed the President on the outcome of his negative result, on Tuesday morning, in Abuja.
According to presidential sources, the test for the president was necessitated after his Chief of Staff, Mr. Abba Kyari, allegedly tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday.
It was reported that Mr. Kyari had travelled to Germany, on Saturday, March 7, to meet with officials of Siemens in Munich on the Nigerian electricity expansion programme.
He returned exactly one week later on Saturday, March 14th, but did not show any symptoms.
Efforts made to confirm the report from the Presidential spokesmen did not yield any results as the media managers referred our correspondent to the Minister of Health.
There was no information on the whereabouts of the Chief of Staff, whether he was at the isolation center at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital facility, in Gwagwalada.
