All Progressives Congress (APC)
has told President Goodluck
Jonathan and the Peoples
Democratic Party (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 is a collective
effort to a campaign issue.
In a statement issued in London
yesterday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
the APC 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 as well as
officials of the Ministries of Health
in Lagos and Rivers states and
other patriotic Nigerian
volunteers.
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.”
The APC said, while indeed,
Minister of Health, Onyebuchi
Chukwu, exhibited the kind of
professionalism and pur­
posefulness during the battle
against Ebola, it would be un­
charitable for the PDP-led Federal
Government to pretend as if the
government of the two affected
states did nothing.
The party reminded that the two
states hit by Ebola, Lagos and
Rivers, were 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
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 disas­
ter 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 State 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 spread. The
measures include painstaking
contact tracing, unrelenting follow-
up and creative treatment of in­
fected patients even without
access to the experimental drug
Zmapp,” the APC stated.

This is serious. Under which administration was this accomplished Baseless argument.

Why Should Jonah And Pdp Claim Credit For Containing Ebola When In Actual Fact, It Was A Collective Effort By The State Government, Fg And The Doctors And Nurses

This has been the thought pattern of apc's augment on topical issues. And I guess it must be the "progressive traits " in them to reason in this manner. smh

can someone please explain to me in clear terms
why this APC of a party is always lugubrious each time the Jonathan led government records any tangible success

I THINK APC is very correct in their argument. Even though the presidency is in control, she never really cares.
It is rubbery, infact, to deny those who directly combarted the epidemic, as mentioned in the briefing, the credit to their successful effort.
I kno if it dis tin had happened in the USA, those people mentioned wud hv bn honored wt PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF HONOUR. that wud incite similar response if such a tin arises in d future in d absence of d ppl who fought against it nw.
But rather than giving credit to those it was due, the rubbers (PDP) have rubbed again, just what they kno how to do.
well if dat didnt convince you: A GOOD LEADER GIVES CREDIT TO HIS FOLLOWERS, BUT KEEPS THE BLAMES TO HIMSELF - Dale Carnegie in How To Win Friends And Influence People.

The President takes credit for...

Facebook Coming to Nigeria- Labaran Maku

Nairaland Coming to Nigeria- Jonathanians

Super Eagles winning AFCON- PDP and Jonathanians

Eaglet winning U17 WC- Jonathan Campaign, PDP and Jonathanians

Now Ebola that was contained through the Efforts of the State Governments in Rivers and Lagos plus the Professionalism of the affected doctors is being attributed to Jonathan and PDP that played little or no role in the containment.

Wharped thinking

I think it's rather warped that u want the fg to take the blame and refused to acknowledge that he takes the credit also.
