The gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Osun State, Mr Bola Oyebamiji, has promised that he would ensure the return of the teachers and health workers sacked by the incumbent administration.
In a statement on his Facebook page, Oyebamiji said he met with over 1,500 teachers and 515 health workers who were recruited by former governor Adegboyega Oyetola but sacked by Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The gubernatorial candidate would also facilitate the payment of their salary arrears and settle outstanding promotion arrears.
He said, “Today, I had the privilege of meeting with over 1,500 teachers and 515 health workers whose lives and careers were abruptly disrupted following their unlawful disengagement in 2022 by the current administration in Osun State.
“Listening to their experiences was both emotional and deeply revealing. These are dedicated men and women who committed themselves to the service of our dear state, yet for nearly three years, they have lived without jobs, salaries, or the dignity that comes with stable public service employment.
“No government that truly cares for its people should abandon willing and qualified workers. A responsible administration must protect, encourage, and reward excellence, not punish it.
“I gave them my solemn assurance that under our administration, their concerns will be addressed with fairness, compassion, and sincerity. By the grace of God, we will ensure their return to work, facilitate the payment of their salary arrears, settle outstanding promotion arrears, and restore respect and dignity to the public service.
“Osun deserves leadership that puts humanity first. Osun deserves a government that values workers as critical partners in development. Together, we will restore hope, rebuild trust, and deliver a purposeful and people-centred governance.”
