The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has said the Lagos State Governor under the administration of Governor Babatunde Fashola set the pace for the victory Nigeria recorded in its fight against the Ebola Virus Disease.

While the APC acknowledged the ancillary roles of several other sectors including the Federal Government in the battle for the containment of Ebola, it insisted that Lagos set the pace and led the battle for the defeat of Ebola.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Tuesday by the state Publicity Secretary, APC, Joe Igbokwe, the party stated that the Fashola led government dictated the pace for the successful control of the disease.

The APC said, We note that Nigeria is gloating over the successful containment of Ebola virus. We note that some people and groups are positioning themselves for the accolades for this feat. But what is not in doubt is that the Lagos State government, through its health ministry and health staff, set the pace for the control of the virus and led the way in dictating the best possible way to ensure that the spread of the disease is put under control.

We note that many staff of the Lagos State health ministry sacrificed themselves to ensure that the disease did not spread farther than it did. We note that before any other person or sector could react, Lagos has mapped out strategies for the control of Ebola, set out facilities for the treatment and quarantine of Ebola victims and deployed the staff of its health and allied ministries to battle the novel disease and its fallouts.

We note that these were just possible because over the years, the proactive government in Lagos has established a viable and responsive health sector and format that has risen to the health needs of 21 millionLagosians today.

The party said it was proper that it salutes the dedicated pace-setting role the Fashola/APC government played in achieving the feat, as the World Health Organisation declared Nigeria Ebola free on Monday.

It is right to say that had the dreaded disease berthed elsewhere, Nigeria would have been grappling with an unmitigated disaster in its hands today, the party added.

A governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress in Cross River State, Mr. Odey Ochicha, has said his party is no longer dormant in the state.

Ochicha, who spoke to journalists on Friday at the party secretariat in Calabar when he went to obtain the expression of intent form to contest for the governorship race in the 2015 election, said the APC had become a vibrant opposition party in the state after the merger.

Ochicha said, Nigeria and by extension Cross River will continue to witness infrastructure decay as long as power is left in the hands of one party. Power left in the hand of one party is recipe for decay and retrogression.

The emergence of APC is a good omen for the state and Nigeria in general. One of the beauties of democracy is to have a vibrant opposition to checkmate the excesses of the ruling party. Without that, there can be no growth in the society.

Democracy is about alternatives. If you leave power in one hand for too long its a recipe for decay and retrogression.

Ochicha, who disclosed that educational development would be his top priority if eventually elected as the next governor of Cross River State, said he was propelled into the race because of his passion for service.

If we assume the leadership of this state, we will address education like Obafemi Awolowo did in the Western region, the Bekwarra-born political scientist added.

When the Bay Guardian abruptly stopped publishing on Tuesday, Assemblyman Tom Ammiano likened the closure to a death in the family that the citys progressives would need time to mourn.

But the 48-year-old newspaper had been on life support since founders and spouses Bruce Brugmann and Jean Dibble sold it to the San Francisco Media Co. in 2012. Like at just about every other print outlet around the country, revenue had fallen and staff had been laid off.

Rich DeLeon, a retired professor of political science at San Francisco State University and a historian of the citys left, said the progressive movement has lost its ideological super ego. He said the Guardians demise is sad. But it is kind of like your great-grandfather dying at 95. It led a good life and it was extremely influential at some point.

David Latterman, a University of San Francisco political analyst, said the papers closure was inevitable, not only because of its failing business model, but also because of the continuing loss of its highly partisan readership.

It had an impact 10 years ago, but at best its support could affect 10 percent of the vote, he said. More recently, its probably about 3 percent.

The sale of the paper also robbed it of its image as the plucky underdog, with the new corporate ownership identity eclipsing Brugmanns founding promise to print the news and raise hell, said political consultant Eric Jaye.

Still, its loss has been keenly felt, especially among progressives who have lost their mouthpiece.

The biggest impact is that there wont be that 800-pound gorilla for the community to rally around, said Alex Clemens, a political consultant and founder of the Usual Suspects blog, an online aggregation of the citys political news from sources large and small.

But with any kind of information vacuum, it will open up opportunities for others to step into that leadership void, Clemens said, noting that there are dozens, if not hundreds of bloggers and online commentators in the city, and every neighborhood has some kind of news outlet.
