The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked President Goodluck Jonathan and his party, the PDP, to stop taking credit for the country’s successful containment of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), saying it amounts to sheer dishonesty for the duo to turn what was a collective effort to a PDP campaign issue.
In a statement issued in London on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said President Jonathan and his party were wrong to have appropriated the credit for the successful containment of the EVD without giving due credit to the real heroes of the successful battle: Dr. Stella Adadevoh and her colleagues at the First Consultant Hospital; officials of the

Ameyo Adadevoh
Ministries of Health in Lagos and Rivers States and the patriotic Nigerian volunteers, among others.
It described as a cheap shot and a shameless venture the President’s decision to make the Ebola success story a campaign issue during a PDP rally in Benin, giving the impression that only the PDP deserves the credit for the successful containment of the disease.
APC said while indeed Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu exhibited the kind of professionalism and purposefulness that are not common with the Jonathan Administration during the battle against Ebola, it will be uncharitable for the PDP-led Federal Government to pretend as if the government of the two affected states did nothing.
The party reminded President Jonathan that the two states hit by Ebola, Lagos and Rivers, are APC states, and that the promptness, purposefulness, doggedness and determination shown by the Governors of the states contributed largely to the successful containment of the virulent disease.
”The cities of Lagos and Port Harcourt are perhaps the largest metropolis to have ever been hit by the EVD since the first outbreak was recorded in the Democratic Republic of Congo almost 40 years ago, and any mishandling of the disease could have spelt disaster not just for the cities but for the country as a whole.
”But the ever-dogged and determined Governors Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State and Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers States employed the same winning strategies that have stood their states out of the pack and quickly rose to the occasion, putting in place measures that ensured a quick curtailing of the EVD sprea. The measures include painstaking contact-tracing, unrelenting follow-up and creative treatment of infected patients even without access to the experimental drug Zmapp.

”There is no doubt that Nigeria is fortunate that the EVD outbreaks were recorded in those two states. It is a measure of the high premium that the Chief Executives of the states place on human life, a testimony to the strong health systems they are building and an indication of their purposeful approach to governance that they successfully contained the disease, thus earning Nigeria a rare accolade from the global community.
”Unlike the President and the PDP, we will also like to give credit to the Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, for acting out of character with the do-nothing Jonathan Administration.
We hope President Jonathan and his party will stop making the Ebola success story in which opposition states were the main actors a fulcrum of their campaign for the 2015 general elections. They cannot and should not take credit for the containment of Ebola in Nigeria,” APC said.

The party also advised President Jonathan not to use the Ebola containment effort as another tool to divide Nigerians along party lines.
”President Jonathan is the most divisive President in Nigeria’s history. He inherited a united Nigeria, but has divided the country along ethnic and religious lines on the altar of selfish personal ambition and short-term opportunism.

It will amount to a monumental tragedy if the President will again use the Ebola success story, which has earned Nigeria a rare acclamation from the global community, as a tool to further divide Nigerians,” it said.

SOS

The Higgi tribe is the main ethnic group in Michika local government of Adamawa state. Boko Haram have been in the complete control of Michika for the past three weeks bringing death and destruction in their wake.

The Higgi people have been chased out of their homeland but the Nigerian government/army arent doing anything to help them flush out the Haramites that have taken over their land.

I helped out in an accident scene yesterday, perhaps he would also take the credit since it happened under his tenure

That man na kai kai man jare!

Apc..i tire for this party..election na 5mnths from now..ccampaign don strt.apc tell us wht u will do fir nigeria..convince us with reason to vote ur party..una dey d attack jona...on ebola matter.is dt d most importnt for now?..this party..have nottin to offer.everyday na to discrdt government...Oya make una go carry cup..na una chase ebola commot for naija..so..wht next? na una kill shecow..Apc wake up oh..no time

Liar moh'd and APC should stop attacking the judges/judiciary on the pages of newspaper. "Fashola saved Nigeria from ebola"- GO AND TELL THAT TO THE MARINES ! then he allowed one escape to port-harcourt SMH

I just hate how Nigeria play their politics. This is the main reason Boko Haram has not been defeated.

Opposition wud rather the killings continue so as to have a reason to label GEJ inept,dunce, directionless.
From my observation and what I av heard the president say so far about the ebola , he was praising how Nigerians put aside politics and joined together to fight the ebola, and re-iterated that if we all cud put politics aside and fight terrorism that way that it shud be a thing of the past too.

Now I'm aligning with the school of thought that BH is much more political.
Ebola happened under his government.He mobilized his health minister to action and he coordinated with state health commissioners and ebola spread was defeated. Wouldn't he praise his government for eradicating it ? Maybe he shud fold his arms and blame ur APC Borno governor for insecurity in his state.

When it is good news, it has notin to do with GEJ but for bad news GEJ is clueless.
APC, Continue.. *spits on their flag*
