It’s appalling to say we’re irresponsible – Ogun doctors fire back at Gov Abiodun
Jun 2, 2020
Resident doctors at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu, Ogun State have reacted to a statement credited to Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun, wherein he said he was disappointed in the doctors for “irresponsibly demanding wage increase from him.”
In a viral video, DAILY POST reported that Gov Abiodun said he has done everything to satisfy the doctors , yet they chose to embark on strike at a time they should be saving lives, saying money should not be their priority this time.
Abiodun also said they were politically sponsored, adding that he would not be subject to anybody’s blackmail.
In a reaction on Monday, the General Secretary of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), OOUTH, Dr Tope Osundara, said Governor Abiodun’s statement is appalling, unfair, unjust and unwarranted.
Osundara said he should not have allowed his emotion to influence his actions on their demands and agitations.
“He is a man with emotions. I understand whenever emotions are flared; you can begin to say whatsoever. But for the governor to say ARD doctors in OOUTH are irresponsible, that’s a blow below the belt. It is very much appalling and unfair. It is unjust and very much unwarranted. In this situation, I think it is necessary for us to operate outside the sphere of emotional influence,” he said.
