Oyetola Reacts To Reports Of Hiring 12,000 Workers

Former Osun State governor Adegboyega Oyetola has denied hiring 12,000 people near the end of his tenure.

He claimed that his government only employed 2,000 people in the final months of its tenure.

Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accused Oyetola of recruiting 12,000 workers during his administration’s final months.

The former governor’s media aide, Ismail Omipidan, described the allegation as false during a stakeholders’ engagement with members of the Osun Young Professionals in Kwara State in Ilorin.

“It’s a lie. We challenged them to prove it by producing list of the 12,000 workers employed within two months and they couldn’t. What’s even the workforce of Osun State? The fact is that we only employed 1,500 teachers and 500 casual health workers, whose appointments were regularised, totalling 2,000 workers. Some were even employed before the election and some others after the election. We worked till the last day, inaugurating projects, not that we were creating landmines,” he said.

Omipidan stated that the Oyetola administration performed admirably during its four-year tenure, adding that the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) was increased from about N10 billion to about N19 billion.
