President Goodluck Jonathan Monday described late Patrick Sawyer
actions as pure ‘madness’ and craziness.
Jonathan made the statement at the annual Interfaith Conference in
Abuja. The president who expressed his disappointment with the way
and manner Sawyer brought Ebola to Nigeria assured citizens that
government is ready to stop the disease.
“As a government, we promise that we will do everything humanly
possible to contain the Ebola
Jonathan informed the gathering that the federal government planned
to rally the 36 states governors and their Commissioners of Health to
rescue the nation from further spread of the disease.
“On Wednesday, I will meet with governor of the states, and they must
come along with their commissioners of Health. We must make sure that
every state is prepared, where they lack, the federal government will
support them,”
The president said that his discussion with the head of WHO has given
him more information about the virus assured the gathering that the
virus will be stopped from causing more harm.
“My conversation with the WHO DG, Dr Margaret Chan was revealing,
she said 60 per cent of the transmission was spread during burials.
That is why in my announcement, I’ve been saying that people should be
careful about burials.”
“Some people like burial ceremonies. This is not the time for burial
ceremony, somebody is dead, he is dead, leave him there. This is not the
best time for those ceremonies.”
“If he is dead, he is already dead, Sawyer that brought this Ebola to
Nigeria; his sister died of Ebola. And he started acting somehow, his
country asked him not to leave the country, let them observe him, but
the crazy man decided to leave and found his way here.”
Meanwhile, the federal government Monday said one new case was
recorded over the weekend, bringing the number to 10.
