Nigeria Vs Congo - APC Warns Wike Over Ebola. Ahead the Nigeria Vs Congo DRC friendly to be played on Saturday, The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has warned the Wike-led Rivers State Government to act proactively to prevent arrival of Ebola in the state.  

In a press release signed by the APC publicity secretary in Rivers State, Chris Finebone, and obtained by myNAIJAinfo.com, the party urged the state government to prioritize protection of the lives of the people and resident of the state.

Read the full press statement below:


NIGERIA vs CONGO DRC FRIENDLY: RVSG must act proactively to prevent arrival of Ebola in Rivers State – 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, Gov. Nyesom Wike should not only focus on reaping from the razzmatazz the grade ‘A’ friendly brings to his empty celebration of 3 years in office.

He must forget politics for a while and act to protect the lives of the people and residents of Rivers State.

While 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.

For once governor Wike should 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.

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.

Truth be told,


Wike really has not much control over the choice of Stadium for a FIFA World Cup friendly of the Super Eagles......


Super Eagles of Nigeria is not Rivers United or Sharks FC.





Warning! Don't Click This!!!! Unless You are Staying Outside Nigeria...!!

Please help the people of Osun, Oyo, Ekiti, and Ondo beg Buhari or federal government to consider us in the area of federal government project execution and appointments. Four year term is about to complete yet no project is being done especially in Osun state even the federal secretariat that was started long ago in Osogbo had been stopped due to unknown reasons. The only regions that feel the presence of federal government in terms of road infrastructure and other meaningful projects are the whole of northern region and some parts of SS and SE. Is Osun state not part of Nigeria? The level of marginalization of Osun state in allocating federal projects is so alarming that you can't point to a particular project that is being handled by federal government and Yoruba is clamoring for true federalism you say no, tell us a good reason we should stop the agitation with this style of government that's only favorable to the North. You take the resources from us and use it to develop Northern region alone, this is not fair. Thank God for the governor we have in Osun. He has really tried his best in the area of projects execution. And Fasola is there as minister going up and down pleasing the North you should remember you are coming back home when the government is no more so that you won't end up regretting you had the opportunity to develop your region like Obasonjo.
Please come to our aid in Osun state if only for the road that link Ekiti, Osun, and Oyo together we will also feel the presence of federal government. Remember your change revolution started in Osun state and we helped you when you needed us.
Thanks

Remove SE/SS from your list. Every single road Buhari is doing now where started by GEJ. He is only building on the legacy of GEJ.

If he loves Ndi Igbo, he should award and complete PH road in Aba.

APC and blame game.

They have forgotten that it's the federal ministry of sports that approved of the match.

All hands must be on deck.

When Ebola arrived Lagos under Fashola, Lagos PDP didn't warn Fashola.

They rather worked together.

Dear APC, please be responsible for once as a ruling party.

Must every thing be politicized?
APC warns Wike...
If the Congo players are carrier on the Virus...who let them in...I mean who is in control of the Border?...yes...APC..
Who controls NFF...yes APC..just do your work and stop pointing dirty finger.
Dumb as they always sound,there're still zombie who can't be cured of APC syndrome...
Peace hating people.
APC syndrome is far worst than Ebola..Ebola only kills...Ebola was in Nigeria in 2014 and it killed less than 20 people.
APC has killed far more than 10,000 people due to insecurity,Over a thousand people due to dead health system,bad roads etc... and over 3 million people lost their jobs...recession,Nepotism,Tribalism...97% and 5%

Super Eagles belongs to the federal government and not rivers state. And they should stop turning the game and ebola issue into politics. I believe the federal government gave the go ahead for the match to be played, so they should channel any complaint to Abuja
