The Ademola Adeleke Transition Committee on Wednesday claimed that it had discovered ‘another ongoing mass recruitment exercise by the Governor Gboyega Oyetola admnistration’ , adding that this was ‘ in continuation of the governor’s efforts to bankrupt Osun state and plunge the state into a deeper financial mess ahead of November 27’.
‘We learnt reliably that the outgoing administration has commenced recruitment of 500 health workers through the Executive Secretary for Osun State Primary Health Care Board whose appointment was also recently done through the back door despite lack of requisite qualifications.
The recruitment shrouded in secrecy is a platform for a deliberate ploy to increase the state payroll and complicate efforts to address the parlous state of the state’s finance.
Just a few weeks ago, the outgoing administration embarked on a sudden employment of 1,500 teachers hiding under the guise of filling vacancies while in actual sense , it was part of a broad plan to financially incapacitate the incoming administration. As usual, the exercise is a job for the boys, lacking the necessary manpower planning and development strategies.
To confirm the sinister motive, the outgoing Governor has also been awarding multi-billion naira capital projects without tenders and compliance with the procurement law. The awards designed to blackmail the incoming government are mainly handed over to known cronies of the Governor with reports confirming that more than three of such contracts have been awarded in the last two weeks.
We are thus, not surprised when we learnt of the ongoing recruitment of another set of medical workers contrary to rules and extant practices. Insiders confirmed that those being recruited are mostly APC members without regard to qualifications and their suitability’ Mallam Olawale Rasheed, who is the
Chairman, Media Sub-Committee of the Ademola Adeleke Transition Committee, submitted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com on Wednesday.
While acknowledging the high level of unemployment in the state, the transition committee warned against ‘an ongoing attempt to capitalize on the pains of the people to satisfy evil political plan of truncating the rebuilding and revival agenda of the incoming government’.
‘We urge the people of Osun state not to fall prey to the latest antics of the Oyetola team. All recruitments effected in breach of manpower planning strategy and whose sole goal is to lay a time bomb for the newly elected Governor can’t stand. All contracts awarded under shady circumstances will also be subjected to requisite review at the right time.
We appeal to all affected individuals and organisations not to become instruments of political vendetta by a defeated Governor unwilling to submit to the will of the people’ he added.
The committee reassured the people of Osun state of a well-thought-out plan by the incoming Adeleke government to sustainably address issues of workers’ welfare, job creation, insecurity, infrastructure deficit, and others facing the state, submitting that “the outgoing government is only using its last minutes in Government House to set traps and lay mines for a government of the people knocking at the door.
“Osun people must rise against anti-people actions and deeds like the multiple efforts to deepen the financial challenges facing the state through deliberate expansion of state payroll and engagement of contractual obligations that breached provisions of the procurement laws’ the statement concluded- Team@orientactualmags.com
