As the Ebola case in Abuja continues to raise concerns, two influential Nigerian figures have warned political parties against divisive rhetoric that could deepen mistrust and threaten national unity. The Chairman of Channels Media Group, Dr John Momoh, has urged political parties and their supporters to steer clear of divisive language ahead of the 2027 general elections, emphasizing that ethnic and religious appeals could turn neighbours into suspects. Meanwhile, the Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Pate, has cautioned against politicizing the Ebola case, stressing that such actions would only hinder the country’s efforts to contain the outbreak. The plea comes as Enugu State strengthens its disease surveillance to monitor the Ebola case in Abuja, according to the News Agency of Nigeria. This story matters to Nigerian readers as it highlights the importance of unity during critical times, and serves as a reminder for politicians to prioritize the welfare of citizens over political gain.
