“President Sirleaf went on CNN News throwing stones at Patrick, a man who can no longer defend himself, a man who worked tirelessly for Liberia. She should be ashamed of herself. I used to admire this woman, and was excited and proud of her accomplishment as the first woman President in the entire continent of Africa. She will always own that. We will always own that. It can’t be taken away from her. It’s something to be proud of. But this woman has failed her country”, she wrote.
Nigeria was free of Ebola until July 20 when Mr. Sawyer was rushed to the First Consultant Hospital Obalende, Lagos, where he died four days later.
Health Minister, Onyebuchi Chukwu, said on Monday that the Liberian government had apologised for the incident.
Since Mr. Sawyer’s death in a Lagos hospital, two other persons, who had contact with him have died of the virus.
In recent days, more Nigerians have also tested positive to the infection and have been quarantined at a Lagos hospital.
President Goodluck Jonathan has since declared a national emergency, announcing the release of N2 billion emergency fund to tackle the virus.
