Osun APC to PDP: Wait for Your Turn, Stop  Opposing Recruitment of  1,500 Teachers

The Osun State Chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has berated the opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in the state for trying to be dictating the pace of governance in the state for to the subsisting administration of Governor Gboyega Oyetola.  

It would be recalled that the Osun State chapter of the PDP, operating under Senator Ademola Adeleke Governorship Transition Committee (SAGTC), condemned in a press statement yesterday the kind gesture of the Oyetola-led administration to employ 1,500 teachers to boost manpower in the education sector.

The statement was issued by the Chairman, Media Sub-Committee of the SAGTC, Mr. Olawale Rasheed.

The chairman of the Osun State Chapter of the APC, Mr. Gboyega Famodun, in a statement that was issued yesterday by his Media Adviser, Mr. Kola Olabisi, in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, educated the PDP’s handlers that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria does not provide the PDP transition committee with the kind of policing role with sinister and insincere motive, which could not be in the overall interest of the people of the state.

Famodun reminded the Osun State chapter of the PDP that Governor Oyetola has been operating within the purview of his constitutional authority, adding that the governor’s four-year first tenure would terminate on November 27, 2022.

He added that Oyetola who, is accountable for his activities within his constitutionally allowed tenure, would not be distracted by any bunch of opposition group that is finding it difficult to know the scope of its activities with reference to the administration of the state.

Famodun asked rhetorically when it has become a sin or a misnomer for  a sitting government to provide jobs for the teeming unemployed when there is no law in place that stipulates when, and when not, to recruit qualified teachers for the state.

He said: “Must a government be stagnated because someone has been declared the winner of a part process of an election which is still a subject of litigation with three segments?

“Enough of this series of needless fuss from the PDP handlers over the steady delivery of the dividends of democracy by the workaholic and focused administration of the Governor Oyetola-led administration.

“The apparently idle PDP’s governorship transition committee should imbibe decorum; learn how to wait for its turn if it is the wish of God for its embattled and controversial governor-elect to rule the state and stop behaving like a bull in a China shop”.

Famodun described the unsolicited supervisory role of the Osun PDP over the administration of Oyetola as needless, worrisome, disheartening, laughable, irritating and constituting a meddlesome interloper.
