The news of their COVID-19 status comes just five days after the Governor announced that himself and his wife will be going into self-isolation for 14 days after one of his daughters tested positive for COVID-19.
The state government had last week announced that two of its top officials tested positive for the disease.
The officials include Chiedu Ebie, secretary to the state government, and Charles Aniagwu, commissioner of information.
As at Tuesday, Delta has recorded 965 confirmed cases, 23 deaths.
