Ebola: APC campaign council accuses Atiku of politicising disease outbreak, says N10bn fund intact

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has publicly defended the federal government’s management of a ₦10 billion Ebola emergency fund, asserting that the capital remains untouched. This statement serves as a direct rebuttal to Atiku Abubakar, who had previously questioned the administration’s handling of a confirmed Ebola case in Abuja and demanded an accounting of the allocated resources.

Abubakar’s initial criticisms focused on the government’s preparedness, surveillance protocols, and the protection of healthcare workers in light of the reported outbreak. In response, the APC campaign council dismissed these concerns as an attempt to politicize the health crisis, maintaining that the government’s response strategy remains intact and the emergency funds are properly accounted for.
