Nigeria Vs Congo DRC Friendly: Focus On Protecting Residence Against Ebola In Rivers Than Celebrating Empty 3 Years In Office – APC Tells Wike

As the spread of the dreaded disease, Ebola, continues across major towns in the Congo Democratic Republic (DRC) ahead of the friendly game between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and the Leopards of DRC in Port Harcourt on Saturday, the Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has called on Gov. Nyesom Wike not only focus on reaping from the razzmatazz the grade ‘A’ friendly brings to his empty celebration of 3 years in office, adding “he (Wike) must forget politics for a while and act to protect the lives of the people and residents of Rivers State.”

The APC in a statement signed and issued to NEWSFLASHNGR.COM by its spokesperson, Mr. Chris Finebone said, “the APC is not averse to the game going on in Port Harcourt as earlier scheduled, we are worried that the possibility of Ebola making its way into Rivers State may be lost on the lackadaisical and purposeless government led by Gov. Nyesom Wike in the State.

We believe that a government that, for years, has been at sea over the soot enveloping Port Harcourt and environs may just be celebrating and backslapping while Ebola sneaks into town to wreak havoc on the people and residents of our dear State.”

He urged governor Wike to roll up his sleeves and deploy emergency health services especially the infectious disease personnel to ensure that the players and other delegation members who will make contact with hotel staff are properly screened to ensure that they do not leave any Ebola footprint on the hotel facilities and the staff.

“More specifically, the hotel to accommodate the DRC delegation should be carefully selected and orientation for the personnel of such a hotel held to acquaint them with the need to reduce contacts and maintain general high hygiene standards while they host the delegation” Mr. Finebone advised.

He noted that the APC is deeply worried and not sure whether the State government is aware that all major international media outlets are currently highlighting the increasing Ebola spread in the Congo DRC .

“What can be achieved by the federal government through surveillance at the airport of entry should not replace the need for the Rivers State Government to do more to safeguard the health and wellbeing of the people and residents of Rivers State.

This should not be another matter over which the governor will play his unending politics with. This is about life and we hope the governor gets it” Mr. Finebone finally declared.

When a foolish man is in power, you know by his decisions.

2 Ebola patients escaped quarantine which means that as they move around, they infect more. then an Ebola free country invites her players along side fans for a football match. Does it mean that foot ball is more important than the life of nigerians

Nigeria isn't sending its players to the Congo.
Congo is the one sending its players to Nigeria.

By the way, few years back there were Ebola in Nigeria. Nevertheless, the Super Eagles traveled to Congo-Brazzaville for a soccer match.

Were we careless like the Congolese Government who under her watch, 2 patients escaped from quarantine and will be spreading it as they move around.

Remember,it took one person to bring it into Nigeria and within 21 days, 20 cases and 8 deaths were recorded

The foolish Rivers APC are not telling us the national measures being put in place by the Fed.Ministry of Health(FMOH) to protect the populace against the Ebola but just out for their usual political charade.
