The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has hailed the Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and the State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Sampson Parker for their doggedness in successfully checkmating the Ebola Viral Disease [EVD] in Rivers State.
In a statement signed by the State Chairman of the APC, Chief (Dr) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya [JP], the party attributed the successful containment of the dreaded Ebola disease, which was imported into Rivers State from Lagos, to the foresightedness, commitment and political will on the part of Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and Dr. Parker who toiled day and night to ensure that the people and residents of Rivers State were protected from the danger of an Ebola epidemic.
Chief Ikanya also attributed the successful containment of Ebola in Rivers and Lagos States, despite being huge population centres in the country, to the proactive and modern-day credentials of the two governors and the All Progressives Congress.
“We are immensely proud of our dear governor, Rt’ Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and the able Commissioner for Health, Dr. Sampson Parker for not only talking the talk but working the talk. While the governor showed his usual leadership in the management of what would have assumed epidemic proportions, the Commissioner put in sustained legwork to ensure that we all are safe from Ebola,” the statement said.
“The APC in Rivers State will remain eternally grateful to our darling Governor for always working to protect the lives and property of the people and residents of our dear state,” it said.
In the statement, Chief Ikanya identified the State Health Commissioner, Dr. Sampson Parker, as a hardworking and committed member of the State Executive Council and the APC.
