As the authorities continue to fashion out modalities on how to deal with the outbreak of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in the country, the Presidency has tagged the Liberian, Mr Patrick Sawyer, credited with the importation
of the virus into Nigeria “a terrorist”; re-echoeing the feeling of
many Nigerians who have not forgiven him for knowingly introducing the
killer disease.
The Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Youths and Students, Mr Jude Imagwe made this assertion Tuesday night
in Abuja during the 3rd Nigerian Youth Democracy Dinner to mark the
international Day of the Youth with the theme: “Youth and Mental
Health”.
Imagwe who could not hide his anger at the development,
said that Sawyer’s misguided action has brought pains and hardship upon
Nigerians.
Not able to come to terms with the motive behind the
late Liberian-American’s action for knowingly bringing the dreaded Ebola
to torment Nigerians, the Presidential aid said “such a man deserves to
rot in hell”.
He said: “Patrick Sawyer has brought pain and
hardship to Nigerians. So many things have now changed because he
brought this upon us. Even in churches, we are not free to shake hands
or greet anymore”.
