The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to stop the political rallies being organized in his support as part of measures to curb the Ebola outbreak in Nigeria.
In a statement released by Spokesperson of the APC, Lai Mohammed, the opposition party urged the President to stop rallies being organized specifically by a group called the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) across the country urging him to run for a second term of office. 
The opposition party says  such rallies were distracting all control measures put in place to effectively curtail the Ebola virus in the country.
With the recent death recorded of Ebola in Port Harcourt, the party also asked that the planned rally in Rivers State on Saturday be cancelled.
