The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has accused Atiku Abubakar of politicising Nigeria’s Ebola response. The council’s spokesperson, Mr Dele Alake, recently had his say via a press statement issued in Abuja.
Insisting that the approved emergency funds remain untouched, Alake criticised Atiku’s reference linking Tinubu’s name to Ebola, stressing that it risks turning a serious health concern into political ridicule.
He concluded by urging opposition politicians to support health authorities rather than criticise the government’s response to the public health threat.
His words, “On accountability, the Atiku camp should note that the N10 billion the President approved for the Ebola emergency in June remains untouched.
We believe linking and rhyming President Bola Tinubu’s name to Ebola only risks turning a serious health concern into a vehicle to ridicule the President.
For anyone infected with the virus, the incubation period ranges from two to 21 days, with symptoms typically appearing eight to 10 days after exposure.
An infected person cannot spread or transmit Ebola to others until they actively develop symptoms.
A responsible opposition will applaud the Task Force for being responsive. But the Atiku camp always goes for cheap shots at the government.
We advise Atiku Abubakar and his hirelings to avoid politicising public health issues.”
