An Ilesa-based human rights activist, Kanmi Ajibola, has warned Governor Rauf Aregbesola against going ahead with the plan to disengage 678 workers of the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital.

The legal practitioner, while speaking at a press conference in Osogbo, said the governor could not take any action on the issue because a case had been instituted against him before an Osogbo High Court.

Ajibola said “The governor claims he is good and that he is somebody who respects the rule of law; he must demonstrate it. The case has been taken to court and he must abide by the rule of law and should not do anything against it pending the destination of the suit.


“Anything done after the service of the processes becomes illegal and he should not be involved in such but should rather wait patiently until the case is resolved in court.”

He recalled that vacancies were advertised and candidates applied for the positions after which they were dully employed with the government’s approval.

He wondered why government would just want to sack them after several years of meritorious service to their father land.
