Anger, fury and frustration was the order of the day within the premises of the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State, because on Friday morning as news filtered in that all top management staff members had been sacked.
PMParrotng.com investigation, however, showed that the letter handed over to the management staff and heads of departments only said they were being ‘disengaged’.
It could not be confirmed if other categories of staff members were affected in the ‘tsunami’ that hit the Ile Akede Headquarters of the broadcasting house.
It will be recalled that the governor of the state, Senator Abiola Ajimobi paid an unscheduled meeting to the Basorun, Ibadan parastatal some days back. During the visit, he clearly informed the staffers that he was going to embark on total restructuring of the broadcasting outfit.
One of the affected top management staff who spoke under the condition of anonymity with PMParrot.com informed us that many of them did not know that the ‘restructuring’ exercise will be this ‘tsunamic’!
Said the senior staff “the governor knows what he is doing. This place is filled up with politicians. Most of us are even not in tune with modern day ways of running a broadcasting house. The truth must be told. On the part of the government, trainings and retraining exercises are also not being carried out. But the massive sack came as a shock to most of us. Many of our colleagues are even furious.”
When we contacted the governor’s communication team members, Mr Yomi Layinka (the Special Adviser)and Akin Oyedele on the phone to hear the government’s side, they did not pick the calls and our correspondents at the Governor’s Office confirmed that the duo were not in their offices.

They're not singing his praises like he wants them to.
