 A  chieftain of  the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)  and former parliamentarian, Senator Felix Kolawole Ogunwale, at the weekend said  that he would turn around health sectors in Osun State for the benefit of the people.

Senator Ogunwale, who spoke with THISDAY on his recent appointment as Chairman Board of Director of Ilesa College of Health Technology, noted that as an expert in the sector for over 50 years, he would strive hard to reinvigorate the system in all ramifications.

According to him in “I was appointed because of my experience and because I have been running my own personal hospitals since 1979 when late “Sage” Obafemi Awolowo came to inaugurate  the hospital in company with  one Chief  Tele Olukoya,  who was a former Pro -Chancellor of University of Lagos.

However, when asked why he didn’t reject the offers, he remarked that he wouldn’t have rejected it because on rejection, it means he had insulted the state Governor Ademola Adeleke who appointed him based on his vast experience and knowledge in health development.

He pointed out that even some of his friends had recently challenged him why he consented to the offer but informed them that he would accept the offer because “ I don’t want to insult the government of the day that is performing.”

Senator Ogunwale emphasised that the appointment was accepted in good faith and vowed to ensure perfect infrastructural development as well as the well-being of both the students, teaching staff and the entire publics of the college.

Senator Ogunwale, who commented on the line-up of the Commissioners, Special Advisers, commended Governor Ademola Adeleke for the wisdom employed in the selection process, saying all the people involved are results-oriented.

He also promised that his period would witness dramatic changes that will bring even development to the school and r council.

Former senator, who  representing Osun Central Senatorial District, however, contended that he  was  prepared to add the needed values to the government of Governor  Adeleke.

He  appreciated the governor for the opportunity given to him to serve the people of the state with the appointment.
