The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called for the probe of alleged looting of the Nigerian Federal Government’s Mother and Child care Hospital, Osogbo by the state government.
The APC had alleged that the management of the Osun State University Teaching Hospital was involved in the looting and sharp practices in the accreditation of some medical courses in the hospital.
A statement by the APC Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, on Monday, said some concerned citizens had raised an alarm days ago that individuals believed to be part of Governor Adeleke’s administration had allegedly invaded the Nigerian Federal Government’s Mother and Child care Hospital located at Oke-Oniti Osogbo to cart away all medical equipment kept in the facility.
The statement alleged that the looting was possibly in anticipation of an accreditation team’s inspection visit to the University of Osun Teaching Hospital in Osogbo.
The APC urged the Federal Government to probe the alleged looting while calling on the state government to come clean on this development.
“Why did the state government remove the equipment from a federal government centre to shore up its infrastructural deficiencies? Why didn’t the state government purchase its own equipment? This raises serious concerns about the commitment of the Governor Adeleke government to the health needs of the citizens,” the statement queried.
The Osun APC added, “We, as a party, are hereby alerting the Federal Government of the seeming political undertone around the centre and also imploring the Federal Government as a matter of urgency to devise a strategy to recover its equipment in the custody of Osun State Government and revamp the centre for effective use of the citizens.”
