The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Thursday said Nigeria will become better if the party is voted into power in the 2015 presidential election with the manner Lagos and Rivers States handled the Ebola Virus Disease outbreak in the country.
The party was reacting to the declaration of Nigeria as Ebola free by the World Health Organisation, WHO.
The state Chairman of the party, Davies Ikanya also commiserated with the families of those who lost their lives in the fight against the dreaded disease, in a statement made available to newsmen in Port Harcourt, adding that the hope and future of Nigeria lies in voting the APC into power come 2015.
“Monday, 21st October, 2014, will remain evergreen in the history of Nigeria, as it was the day the World Health Organisation declared Nigeria Ebola-free and the American Broadcasting Corporation also declared Nigeria’s Ebola eradication effort as a model which the USA and other nations must emulate.
“Those of us in APC celebrate this feat since Lagos and Rivers, the two states that achieved this milestone, are APC states. This clearly points to where the hope lies as Nigerians prepare to vote for a new government next year.
“With what Lagos and Rivers states demonstrated in this regard, it simply means that with APC at the helm of affairs come 2015, Nigeria will surely be a world beater,” Rivers APC said in a statement issued on Thursday in Port Harcourt.
The party congratulated Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, and Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers States for giving hope to Nigerians and the entire world through their robust and effective response to the Ebola challenge.
“We also congratulate all those that lost their lives in the fight against Ebola, particularly the doctors and other gallant medical staff, particularly in Lagos and Rivers States, who paid the supreme price in their determination to save the nation from catastrophe,” the party said.
