Coronavirus: APC Calls For Unity, Praises Jonathan’s Handling Of Ebola

The All Progressives Congress, APC has rebuked those it claimed had sought to get political mileage out of the arrival of the coronavirus into the country.

The party in a rare praise of the Goodluck Jonathan administration praised what it described as the “exemplary handling of the” Ebola outbreak.

While commending the proactive efforts of the health authorities in a statement on Sunday, the party called for national unity among the citizenry towards combating what it claimed was a national threat.

The statement was issued by the party’s spokesman, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu.

“In managing outbreaks such as the coronavirus, transparent and effective communication is key and this government has demonstrated this in no uncertain way through delivery of up-to-date and timely information on developments, measures being taken and progress made.

“This is a time when real patriots put in their own positive shifts in conjunction with the government. It is not a time to spread fear and rumour. We call on all Nigerians to ignore people seeking to create panic through fake news. We all should rely only on the official sources of information on the coronavirus.

“We have observed with disgust the utterances of some partisans following the report of the country’s first case of coronavirus. It is irresponsible of any political party to seek political gains from an issue that bothers on the health and well-being of all of us.

“Among other treatment successes being recorded in cases of coronavirus, China has shared its treatment procedure of coronavirus with Nigeria as disclosed by the health minister, Dr. Osagie Ehanire. Our handling of the Ebola outbreak was exemplary.

“We call on all Nigerians to remain upbeat and confident that this too will be another good outing for us.”
