During a speech at the Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja on Monday, Vice President Kashim Shettima criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, for his lack of knowledge in differentiating between Ebola and the flu, despite his academic background in hygiene. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Shettima accused Atiku of spreading fear among Nigerians through his comments regarding the virus. The Vice President did not specify which comments he was referring to, but it appears to be a response to Atiku’s criticism of the Nigerian government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to note that Nigeria has not reported any cases of Ebola since 2021, according to the World Health Organization. It is unclear if Atiku has made any recent comments about Ebola. This story serves as a reminder of the importance of accurate information and the potential consequences of spreading false or misleading information.
