Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke and the governorship candidate on the All Progressives Congress, APC, within the State Mr Bola Oyebamiji on Saturday disagreed over the state of well being services within the State.
Oyebamiji had disclosed that, it elected governor subsequent 12 months his administration will overhaul the well being sector with a view to reviving the sector he described as moribund.
Oyebamiji in a press release issued by his media workplace and signed by Adebayo Adedeji, stated Governor Adeleke has carried out poorly within the well being sector and may focus on delivering high quality healthcare for the individuals of the State relatively than dissipating vitality on calling Oyebamiji unprintable names.
Reasonably than expending vitality on calling AMBO and APC leaders unprintable names, Governor Ademola Adeleke ought to use the rest of his tenure to work for the individuals of Osun State. His efficiency within the final 36 months, significantly within the well being sector, has been poor and uninspiring.
In simply 4 years of the Oyetola administration, during which AMBO performed a distinguished position, an ordinary 120-bed ward was constructed on the State Specialist Hospital, Asubiaro. In the identical hospital, a 30-unit-state-of-the-art medical doctors’ quarters, now valued at over ₦2 billion, was additionally constructed. Past constructing buildings and well being centres throughout the 332 wards of the state, the administration geared up them with medical consumables and services value billions of naira simply as medical doctors and different well being professionals had been handsomely rewarded. It’s on file that the doctor-friendly AMBO performed a vital position in guaranteeing the brand new wage construction for medical doctors in Osun, as really helpful by the Federal Authorities, was well timed applied in 2019. Osun medical doctors didn’t solely earn a good wage, they earned probably the greatest salaries in the entire of Nigeria.
Regardless of incomes near ₦1 trillion in income in three years, it’s disheartening that the Adeleke administration needed to take away (learn “steal”) federal authorities gear from the Mom and Youngster Hospital at Oke-Oniti, Osogbo, to safe accreditation for programs on the State Instructing Hospital, Osogbo. Why did the state authorities take away gear from a federal facility to shore up its infrastructural deficiencies? Why did it not procure its personal gear?

The AMBO Media Fronts finds it troubling that 18 months after Dr Adekunle Akindele, Particular Adviser on Well being to Governor Adeleke, publicly acknowledged a scarcity of well being employees within the state’s hospitals, the federal government is but to recruit the required professionals.
Nevertheless, Governor Adeleke in a press release issued by his media aide, Olawale Rasheed, disclosed that Oyebamiji’s declare of moribund as “a baseless disinformation try” and present of his isolation from public minds.
“It’s just like the opposition candidate resides in one other world as a result of Osun immediately and from 2024, is primary throughout the South West within the space of provision of main well being care. When the Ikire man was in authorities, Osun was nowhere throughout the 10 digits.
“Over 200 well being centres had been renovated beneath my watch and one other section of renovation is presently ongoing. Below the earlier authorities, the APC candidate was a part of the committee that mismanaged the 20 million greenback World Financial institution grant meant for renovation of main well being care facilities. Osun received’t return to the times of insensitive leaders.
“Not like the APC authorities beneath which Mr Oyebamiji was a key actor, we upgraded hospitals with medical gear and services for correct care. Our scorecards embody procurement of recent working supplies for the wards and working theatres;. buy of digital medical units, together with sphygmomanometers, pulse oximeters, thermometers, and CPAP machines (VAYU fashions); acquisition of an electrophoresis (Genotype) machine, digital X-ray printer, and automatic digital machine to boost diagnostic capability.
