The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said Nigerians must hold President
Goodluck Jonathan personally
responsible if the Ebola Virus Disease
spreads more than it has done in the
country, after he failed to stop a rally in his support in Port Harcourt on Saturday, despite warning from individuals and groups.

In a statement issued on Sunday in Lagos by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said never before has a President of a country sabotaged his own Administration's policy and endangered the lives of his compatriots as President Jonathan has done over the issue of Ebola.

It said the same President who declared a national emergency on Ebola and advised against large gatherings to prevent the spread of the virus was the first to flout his own advice by his failure to stop the rally by the so-called Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) in Port Harcourt, a few days after the virus was detected in the city and at
a time that contact tracing was going on to find all those who may have had
contact with the medical doctor victim
of the disease.

''On the altar of political desperation,
President Jonathan put the lives of
Nigerians in danger. In order to realize
his ambition for re-election, President
Jonathan has shown he is ready to
sacrifice as many lives of Nigerians as
possible.
There goes the President's statement that his political ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. This President simply says what he doesn't mean.

''As we said in our statement of Aug.
28th 2014 calling on President Jonathan to halt the TAN rallies, especially the one in Port Harcourt, could anyone guarantee that none of those who have had contact with the medical doctor who died of the
disease will attend the rally?
That is why we are calling on Nigerians to hold the President responsible if Ebola spreads more than it has in the country,'' APC
said.

The party said shortly after it made the call for a halt to the TAN rallies, others, including the NBA and Prof. Itse Sagay, in a clearly patriotic duty, issued similar calls.
''In fact, the APC in Rivers described such a rally most appropriately as a 'firing squad against the people'.

But because he will rather be re-elected than give a damn over the safety of the same people who voted him into office, because he will rather transmogrify than transform President Jonathan ignored all the calls and allowed the rally to hold.

This is an unprecedented act of political desperation,'' it said.
APC said for those who might try to spin the issue by saying the President has no control over the organizers of the rally, they should be asked who the rallies will benefit, whose top officials, including Secretary to the Government Anyim Pius Anyim, have been attending the rallies and what is the source of the funding of the gatherings.

''The TAN rallies are government-sanc
tioned. The TAN rallies are the Jonathan Administration's cunning way of beating the INEC ban on campaigns for next year's general elections.

The TAN rallies highlight the impunity of the Jonathan Administration.
President Jonathan is the sole beneficiary.
He can stop the rallies today, if only he wants to put the nation's interest above his own personal interest,'' the party said.

I think APC for once is right on this one BTW doesn't the governor have the power to have stopped the rally?

The rally should have been stopped......afterall he will still win the election.

But its from APC

SO

I don't care

APC is evil

If president apc shouts, if president eat they shout. If I were goodluck, I will endorse regionalism so that this stupid hausa go to their farm

I don't think posters before me are Nigerians or just choose to be enemy of their country.The man is saying the truth, what should be the beauty of having opposition party if they sealed their mouth when the president is doing something not reasonable

APC hating on GEJ since 1997 APC should shut the fu*k up Jare if they don't know what to say they should keep quiet and stop making useless and unnecessary noise they are just jealous that plenty people were present at the campaign or rally they did not make that statement out of love for the masses but for their selfish reasons. As if people are not still going to churches or mosques or market. APC can go and hug transform and blow for all I care. GEJ till 2019

Ipledge: I don't think posters before me are Nigerians or just choose to be enemy of their country.The man is saying the truth, what should be the beauty of having opposition party if they sealed their mouth when the president is doing something not reasonable

Would you like the President to ban all election campaigns and all electoral activities in the country because of Ebola?

Be careful what you wish for

it should not be port harcout

FOR ONCE GOODLUCK PUT HIS AMBITION FOR SECOND TERM BEFORE THE SAFETY OF HIS PEOPLE.

SMH for politicians. Must everything be viewed with political advantage in mind?

APC was shocked by the crowd that turned up. They want to use the fear of Ebola to break people. It's high time they do less talking with treats and focus more on upcoming Elections.

And no campaign for them in any state until the Ebola virus is properly contained.

Demdem2: This is so on point from APC. Far before apc made his call, demdem2 called for the cancellation of the gathering simply because of Ebola concerns in PH. Sane men did the same but Jonathan saw no sense in such.
It's obvious now that the ambition of Jonathan to him supercedes the lives of all Nigerians combined together. The fool doesn't give a damn even if ebola wipes off his people as long as he is in aso rock.

Mumu, go to mile2, cele, alaba, yaba and different markets across the country and see people doing business, why not go there and close the market first, I'm sure the rally was for a day, people went to church today, tomorrow people will go to market, of all this is the rally that will make the Ebola spread abi?

Can't this rabble rousers keep it shot for once?

will apc make this same comment if the president stop praying in the mosque n church for reason's of avoiding body contact

eleojo23: People still go to markets, churches and mosques, right?

During the peak of the ebola scare in lagos,computer village at ikeja was almost a ghost town,at churches hand shake and hugging in church has stopped,at mosques the use of another persons kettle of water is no longer allowed....so don't tell us people still go to those places wen u go with extra caution...

barika2011: so don't tell us people still go to those places wen u go with extra caution...

I believe they also attend the rallies with extra caution...

Which crowd,Tan claimed 4million south-south people signed for jonathan,when amaechi was at pdp(people destruction party),rivers state alone gave 2million votes in 2011,and the whole south-south signed 4million for tan rally for 2015 wat a shame....that crowd u claimed came from edo,delta,akwa ibom,cross rivers,bayelsa and also some south east states...

Goatluck Ebola Jonathan acting dumb since 2010, how does one reconcile this level of policy somersault? Jonathan destiny is indeed to bankrupt Nigeria both financially and Human resources! He doesn't even care for his own people in the SS, he wants them to die in an Ebola outbreak. But the evil he plans for Nigeria either deliberately or dumbly na for imm head the wahala go land!

I have discovered some people are knowingly and actively daft. You ban churches from holding a large gathering crusade.....and bannned all form of large gatherings, passed a resolution that schools should remain shut, yet u cant stop a rally cos its about your re-election. Is the FG not supposed to be the Pioneer of abiding by the rule it created?

Demdem2: fools abound on this thread no doubt.

Fixed!
Aren't you surprised at the comments made by the Jonathanians on this thread? I am sure they must have told their loved ones who reside in PH not to go for the rally for the fear of Ebola yet they come to this thread to spew nonsense!

I am impressed that people living in PH were wise enough not to show up for the rally. The stadium was very empty aside from those who were paid to come and cheer and dance. People are very mindful about the Ebola Virus and they try as possible to avoid direct contacts with people.
As Lai Mohammed rightly said,Jonathan should be held responsible if the Ebola Virus escalates.
