STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama on Sunday signaled for the first time that he is likely to dispatch U.S. military resources to help fight the serious outbreak of Ebola in several countries in West Africa.

"We have to make this a national security priority. We have to mobilize the international community, get resources in there," the President said to Chuck Todd on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"We're going to have to get U.S. military assets just to set up, for example, isolation units and equipment there, to provide security for public health workers surging from around the world."

Obama's comments come after sharp criticism from Dr. Joanne Liu, president of Doctors Without Borders, last week.

"States with the required capacity have a political and humanitarian responsibility to come forward and offer a desperately needed, concrete response to the disaster unfolding in front of the world's eyes ... rather than limit their response to the potential arrival of an infected patient in their countries," Liu said.

Obama cautioned that inaction could have dire consequences.

"If we don't make that effort now, and this spreads not just through Africa but other parts of the world, there's the prospect then that the virus mutates. It becomes more easily transmittable. And then it could be a serious danger to the United States," Obama said.

The Caddo and Bossier parish libertarian parties held a liberty session this afternoon.

Candidates for local, state, and federal positions talked about the issues they want to take on in office.

The audience was able to ask questions followed by short speeches from the candidates.

Randall Lord, Candidate for US House District 4, says as a libertarian he can vote based on issues and not party politics.

"If a civil liberties issue comes up that the Democrats are very much in favor of but the Republicans are opposed I can vote with the Democrats, Lord said If a spending issue comes up that I agree with the Republicans on, I will vote on that side. So I can go back and forth. I will vote with the issues not with the political parties."

Lord is running against Republican, John Fleming.

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing on Sunday threatened to label the All Progressives Congress an anti-Igbo political party if it fails to apologise to a former Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, within 48 hours.

The threat, which the Ohanaeze Youth Wing issued in a statement jointly signed by its National Secretary, Emmanuel Nnabuike, and Publicity Secretary, Obinna Adibe, followed the APCs call for Iherjikas prosecution over alleged sponsorship of the Boko Haram sect.

The APC demanded Ihejirikas prosecution in the wake of claims made by Australian negotiator, Mr. Stephen Davies.

In the statement titled, Ongoing Attempts To Brand Gen. Ihejirika a Boko Haram Sponsor, the Ohanaeze youths described Davies claims as spurious.

The group expressed regrets that the APC did not bother to ascertain the veracity of the negotiators allegations before calling for Ihejirikas prosecution.

Ohanaeze youths noted that Ihejirika deserved an apology from the APC since the Department of State Security had absolved him of complicity in the sponsorship of the Boko Haram sect

It is on record that the same people trying to frame up Gen. Ihejirika are the same people who claimed they would make Nigeria ungovernable for President Jonathan in the aftermath of the 2011 presidential election.

We view the call for Ihejirikas trial by the All Progressives Congress through its spokesman-Alhaji Lai Mohammed, without bothering to confirm the authenticity of the statement, as malicious and premeditated.

Now that the Department of State Security has officially absolved Ihejirika of any complicity in the matter, we ask the APC to issue an apology to Gen. Ihejirika and Ndigbo within 48 hours.
