Osun state Governor Rauf Aregbesola has threatened to sack striking doctors in the state by Monday, January 11.

The Punch reports that the governor gave the hint in Osogbo, on Thursday, January 7, while addressing guests at the 75th birthday anniversary of the founding President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Hassan Sunmonu.

Aregbesola expressed amazement that his efforts to convince the doctors to resume their official duties had fallen on deaf ears as they remain adamant.

“To my dismay, they stuck to their guns. But you are either in or out. We have decided to use the civil service rule. The Head of Service will implement that as from Monday. Head of Service, it is over to you,” he said.

It was gathered that some of the aggrieved striking doctors present at the ceremony could not curtail their emotions and started complaining out loud to draw the attention of the governor, who was compelled to ask if some of the doctors were present at the occasion.

The Permanent Secretary of the Hospitals Management Board, Mrs. Omolara Ajayi, in his message, pleaded with the doctors to resume work in the interest of the people.

“I want to appeal to them to resume in the interest of the masses, people who do not have an alternative. A life that is lost is lost forever,” Ajayi said.

Recall that doctors in Osun state commenced their ongoing strike on September 28, 2015. The striking doctors were given until December 25 to return to work in an ultimatum by Aregbesola but, the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) had stated that it will mobilise every doctor in Osun state to strike should the state’s governor carry out his threat to sack striking doctors.

Meanwhile, few days ago, Governor Aregbesola of Osun state inaugurated a nine-member governing board to oversee the running policy of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital (LAUTECH) in Osogbo and create a miracle centre where those expected to die would live.

Omoluabi

The result of visionless leadership hinged on deceit, political showmanship and megalomania, as well as ignorance, blind partisanship and myopia on the part of the electorate.

When this man was blowing money on pointless ill-conceived projects, the people praised him.

When it was shown that he forged his credentials as a COREN-certified engineer and was actually a refrigerator technician, the people of Osun said it didn't matter. That academic qualifications meant nothing (Similar to a certain mallam in Aso Rock).

Today, they reap the fruits of their ignorance.

The Permanent Secretary of the Hospitals Management Board, Mrs. Omolara Ajayi, in his message, pleaded with the doctors to resume work in the interest of the people.

why not pleading with the Governor to treat the doctors well in the interest of the people!
