Adebayo Critiques Government's Ebola Transparency Efforts

Prince Adewole Adebayo, the Presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), accused the Federal Government of lacking transparency in its handling of the current public health situation, asserting that poverty is Nigeria's most significant public health crisis, not Ebola. Speaking at a dinner with journalists, Adebayo noted that the current health emergency is shrouded in secrecy, contrasting it with the transparent management of the Ebola outbreak in 2014 under then Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu.

He expressed concern that Nigerians are not receiving clear information about the health emergency, which is causing fear and speculation. Adebayo also criticized President Bola Tinubu's 90-day cost of living plan as politically timed, alleging that the APC government has undermined democracy through actions against the SDP.

Additionally, Yusuf Magaji Bugaje, the party's Vice Presidential candidate, highlighted the existential threats posed by insecurity and poverty in Nigeria, emphasizing the dire state of food and health security.
