Two days after losing to PDP, Aregbesola descends on staff of state owned radio, TV

Two days after his party lost the Osun West senatorial election to the opposition, Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State has descended heavily on staffers of the state-owned Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC).

Sources within the corporation disclosed that as at Monday, at least three staffers have been issued with suspension letters.

Those who were hammered are Mr Kunle Makanjuola, Mr Gbadebo Adepoju and Mrs Folakemi Alonge. The affected persons were reportedly never issued any letter of query before being suspended.

OSBC, popularly referred to as Voice of the South West, has four stations: two radio stations and two television stations.

Though the reasons for the actions are not yet known, many suspect that it may not be unconnected to the loss suffered by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the Osun West bye-election held on Saturday.

Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) defeated the candidate of the Aregbesola-led APC party in the state, Mudashiru Hussain by 97,480 to 66,116 votes.

According to the sources, the three staffers of the OSBC were allegedly placed on indefinite suspension for jubilating after the victory of PDP’s Adeleke in the Saturday by-election.

Efforts to get government’s angle and its reasons for the action proved abortive as the phone line of Mr. Semiu Okanlawon the Chief Press secretary to Governor Aregbesola, was switched off.

Recall also, that a former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, had mocked Governor Aregbesola after the results of the poll were released, and PDP declared winner.

Fani-Kayode asked him to shave his beard and resign following alleged statement credited to Aregbesola, where he reportedly said that he will shave off his beard and resign, if PDP won an election the state.
The former minister reminded him that “Adeleke has won”, adding, “Shave off your beard and resign.”

Hmmm..... so before this bill... why would they be thinking that those shot were the bandits and not the victims?... when bandits are always shooting innocent people left, right and centre?..24/7?..... and in shootouts with Police and soldiers they are almost always escaping?...pretty much bulletproof?
Good bill..but long overdue. So what about chopped victims?...does the bill apply?...energency assistance?..or in such case hospitals can first wait for advance payment while the victim lay leaking to death?..just wondering.

Police report will still be required but that is while treating the patient not before.

There is really no sense in denying treatment to an injured person even if he is a known criminal. Remember he is innocent until proven guilty and that is not the duty of a doctor.

These senators cannot stop displaying their stupidity. Which hospital are they talking about.
Hospitals that lack medical equipments or what.
So if they bring a gun shot victim to a private hospital, the hospital must trust the victim. Then who is going to pay the medical bill.
I'm expecting them to pass free medical treatment in all govt hospital in Nigeria.
I'm expecting them to say that every hospital in Nigeria must have adequate medical supplies/equipments and proper fund allocated for it.
These people are just clowns

A great lover of the Lord i know died last year because he was refused treatment after being shot by kidnappers. He begged for his life but doctors insisted on police report in a government hospital ooo. He had more than enough money to pay. When he finally got help in the clinic of the IOC he retired from it was already too late,shock had set in. Implementing this law will proved to me Sir that you did not die in vain. Our Lawmakers una well done please make una continue like this.
