ADC Faults APC for Not Answering Atiku’s Questions About N10bn Ebola Fund

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of evading questions about the N10 billion announced in June for Ebola preparedness after a case was confirmed in Abuja. Phrank Shaibu, the ADC presidential campaign council’s director of strategic communication, asked whether the funds had been released, where they were held and how they had been spent, and called for the publication of release documents and expenditure records. He also sought details of the public-health response timeline: the patient reportedly developed symptoms on October 7, sought care at a private facility on October 11 and received laboratory confirmation on October 20; 44 contacts were identified. Shaibu urged protection and resources for health workers and contacts and asked the government to clarify any proposed restrictions on campaigning or voting during the health emergency.
