Oyetola hired 12,000 workers after electoral defeat – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party, Osun state chapter, has described as “illegal” and “illegal and ill-intentioned” the employment of 12,000 workers by outgoing Governor Gboyega Oyetola.

Dr Akindele Adekunle, the state caretaker chairman, said his party would annul the appointments made by the governor in the twilight of his administration.

The party said, “We also want to put on records that the outgoing administration has employed over 12, 000 workers of various cadres since the July 16 elections.

“We have been warning members of the public not to engage in such bankrupting agenda. We had also issued several statements declaring such employment exercise a nullity

“Any employment conducted in the last several weeks will not stand and will not enter the state payroll. We are in the know that the majority of those employed against due process are members of the APC purposely designed to weaken the financial base of the state.

“Our administration will not hesitate to sack all those illegally employed by Mr Oyetola in his last days in office”, the party affirmed.

“We also want to put on records that the outgoing administration has employed over 12,000 workers of various cadres since the July 16 elections.”

The party warned financial institutions against consenting to last-minute fund movement by the outgoing government.
