APC Blame PDP For Attack On Ekweremadu

The All Progressives Congress has condemned the attack on the immediate past Deputy Senate President and serving Senator, IKE EKWEREMADU, by members of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra on Saturday in Nuremberg, Germany.

The ruling party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, LANRE ISSA-ONILU, said those involved in the despicable actions and the organisation they represented were unworthy in character.

The APC blamed the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for supporting IPOB in the past when it was promoting division in the country.

According to the statement, the PDP and its leaders chose to play politics over a matter that called for collective patriotic actions when IPOB raised a terror group in the South East.

In the meantime, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has also condemned the attack on former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator IKE EKWEREMADU.

Reacting, the PDP described the attack on EKWEREMADU as unacceptable, and portrays the image of Nigeria in bad light.

In a statement signed by its spokesperson, KOLA OLOGBONDIYAN, the main opposition party charged the Nigerian Ambassador to Germany as well as the German government to ensure that perpetrators of the act are dealt with.

Ebola Cured? Congolese Doctor; Jean-Paul Muyembe discovers Potent Ebola Treatment

Two new experimental Ebola treatments have worked so well they will be offered to all patients in the Democratic Republic of Congo, scientists announced Monday in a medical breakthrough.
This is a massive boost to the region, which has been suffering an Ebola epidemic that has killed at least 1,800 people and infected 2,800 more in a disaster the World Health Organization declared a global emergency.

The antibody-based treatments, known as REGN-EB3 and mAb-114, saved 90 percent of the patients who received them in the infection’s early days. Originally part of a four-treatment trial that began in November, these treatments worked so well that researchers recommended that scientists should focus on these two and stop the other two treatments. The makers of the treatments said there would be enough doses for all patients with Ebola.

Dr. Jean-Paul Muyembe, director of Congo’s National Institute for Biomedical Research, has been working to find a cure for Ebola since 1976. He said, “I had this idea a long time ago, and I’ve waited patiently for it. I’m very happy, and I can’t believe it.”

The treatment is said to cure 90% of the tested cases with symptoms reducing within 1 hour.
