Ekiti people don suffer I swear...

Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Jonathan, on Thursday said neither he nor any governor in the country can claim the credit for winning the war against Ebola.
Rivers and Lagos are the two Nigerian states hit by the Ebola outbreak.
The federal government said the two states are now free of the deadly virus.
According to Mr. Jonathan, the government could not have succeeded in ridding the country of Ebola virus without the cooperation of the Nigerian masses.
The President said these at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, during the launch of Elumelu Nigeria Empowerment Fund, ENEF, to support victims of terrorism in the country’s North-east zone.
He used the occasion to thank Nigerians for buying into the Ebola campaign, saying that no government could have performed magic to rid the county of the deadly virus without the peoples’ support.
Mr. Jonathan, however, commended Nigerians for following the health guidelines set out by government, some of which was a departure from the norm.
He said, “When government said we must be mindful of gatherings, of handshakes and that we should not move corpse unnecessarily,” Nigerians heeded the advice.
He noted that even churches that he thought would resist the directive by still using a single cup to serve the Holy Communion to its members suspended the practice during the Ebola war.
Continuing, he said, “Nigerians became mindful. Friends stopped embracing themselves saying until we get out of Ebola.
“So it (Ebola campaign) had the buy-in of the populace and that is why we succeeded so fast otherwise we couldn’t have.
“There is no magic government could have used to solve that problem. No President or state governor will claim any credit. The credit should go to the ordinary Nigerians for the cooperation and their buy-in,” Mr. Jonathan said.
By his comment, the President appears to be reacting to remarks by top members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, including Governors Babatunde Fasola of Lagos State and Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, who have said the Federal Government did very little to contend the deadly virus and should therefore not claim credit for winning the war.
While speaking at the formal declaration of a former Head of State, Muhamadu Buhari, for the APC’s presidential ticket at the Eagle Square, Abuja, on Wednesday, Mr. Amaechi, said Nigeria’s flaunted success in the fight against Ebola is a fallacy.
He insisted that the Rivers State Government spent a whopping N1.4billion to stop the outbreak of the disease.
He faulted claims by Mr. Jonathan’s ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, that the Federal Government successfully contained the outbreak.
He said, “I hear PDP and Mr. President claiming the glory of having fought Ebola. I asked one simple question: Rivers state government spent 1,406 billion to fight Ebola, the Federal Government brought N200m just last week. If we were waiting for that N200m, Ebola would have spread round Rivers State,” he said.
He said his colleague, Mr.Fashola, was also “fully in charge of the Ebola drive in his state”.
Further deriding the Federal Government, Mr. Amaechi said “Apart from announcing the number of patients, what did the Federal Government do for us? So, why did they politicise Ebola.”
Meanwhile, Mr. Jonathan said the Federal Government has made a donation of N250 million to the ENEF, saying that the government will continue ‎its sustained security operations to eliminate insurgency and restore law and order in the country.
Mr. Jonathan noted that the prolonged case of insurgency in the zone has led to the displacement of the population, destruction of infrastructure and the collapse of the economy in the area.
The rehabilitation of communities affected by the crisis, the President said, would require not only government’s intervention but also that of the private sector.
“I have realized over time that government alone cannot solve human problems. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/169630-no-governor-can-take-credit-for-wining-ebola-war-jonathan.html

Typical yoruba and negativity. Don't ask me how I know you are a Yoruba...that's your Modus Operandi and we all know it now. You think North, SS and SE take you people seriously. SS have seen you people for what you are from how you disrespect our president and son. How you people disrespect President Jonathan is beyond belief. Don't think any ethnic group disrespected Obasanjo in this manner. Good yorubas should ignore this statement above...meant for some of you that exhibit this negativity behavior which is becoming endemic with younger generation of yorubas...sheer negavity in everything. If you reply this post in attack, then you belong to this category.

Now to the nitty gritty, Federal goverment under a functioning minister, Dr. Onyebuchi spearheaded the fight against this ebola epidemic. As usual, SW and APC will come on here and cry...Fashola this, Fashola that...very shameless people. Wasn't the same Fashola and Lagos that refused the magic Nano Silver? Talk to me people...this is a factual statement. Until he was forced by the federal government that if he doesn't allow them into Lagos using "National Security threat" clause in the constitution...read the constitution people it's in there; Ebola became a "national security threat" and federal government was ready to declare state of emergency on Lagos and force Fashola out in handcuffs to protect the lives of its citizens required by law...you think this is a joke. The media has been hiding this. Until Federal government went into Lagos did Ebola disappeared because they had intelligence on the cure. Otherwise, Fashola, APC, SW were willing to play politics with innocent people, including gullible yorubas and let people die. Federal government as Jonathan stated are present in Lagos and Rivers nibbling this virus except Rivers is not making propaganda of it. All monies expended by Lagos state during the infancy of Ebola when it was not a " national security threat" has been refunded back to it. Let's get the facts right and give credit to whom it it due to.

Wake up people. Jonathan handling of Ebola, is the biggest achievement of any government in the history Nigeria. This thing would have killed thousands, leave people paranoid, paralyzed our economy and throw this country into unimaginable chaos. I was a staunch Buhari supporter and voted for him but today I have changed my mind. Jonathan till 2023 with option to extend it to 2031.

If u had respect For your own father, u won't go as far as calling someone else's father a useless man, worst of all, a sitting president. You probably have a poor home training and mentoring from useless parents. I rest my case.

Foul-mouthed, lies, violence, do-or-die, character assassination, blackmail, intimidation, poverty distribution, boko haram and hyperactive looting - what else am I missing from the PDP camp?

“Apart from announcing the number of patients, what did the Federal Government do for us?". The token the FG gave was after the war on Ebola was over.

Apart from the Health minister that kept touch with all the efforts at these States, Jonathan has no business trying to reap were he did not sow.

A warm reception to survivors to help them reintegrate into the society.

My special thanks and appreciation goes to the Health workers who were at the forefront of the War Against Ebola (some of who lost their lives). May God continue to bless them.

Jonathan is trying very hard to reap where he did not sow. What a shame. Since there is nothing to support his interest, he is asking for neutrality as if Ebola just walked away on its own.

This Clueless Leadership must be voted out.

Amaechi there is Godoooo, all this money your are sharing! Na so u take thief 1.4B claiming say na for ebola!

how about this ur god called leaders do the right thing at the right time and stop playing politics with citizen's life for their selfish interest...nonsense.
