Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has accused his major opponent in the 2019 governorship election, Abiodun Akinlade of politicising the fight against the spread of COVID-19 in the state.

Abiodun was responding to Akinlade’s advice that he should make the health sector priority at a time like this.

Recall that Akinlade had urged Abiodun to set its priorities following the decision of residents doctors of the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu to embark on weekend strike over wage increase.

In his plea, Akinlade, appealed to the doctors not to go on strike.

Akinlade also urged Abiodun to set its priorities as he would not be measured by the number of roads he constructed, but by his efforts in saving the lives of Ogun residents during this period of the Coronavirus pandemic.

But, Abiodun in his response to Akinlade comments, said the former lawmaker was talking rubbish.

In a video, Abiodun said: “I read in some medium that someone said Gov Abiodun should better focus on the health sector against constructing roads and constructing schools. And I think it is a joke. People just at times talk without even thinking.
“In this country, we are ranked very high in our level of preparedness for this Covid. Like I said, we are only number four in testing in this country.

“I did not get a penny to acquire a laboratory. We did everything through self help. Our isolation centres are considered… WHO said what they saw in Ogun State was simply amazing and what we have done is definitely a legacy post-Covid; and then someone says to me that I am focusing on roads and schools that, I am not focusing on health care. Can you see everything is political?

“You know I am not in the habit of responding to baseless and frustrated people when they talk carelessly. But this time it is very painful when it borders on health.

The governor also condemned the doctors for threatening to embark on strike during this trying times.

He said the doctors’ demand might have political inclinations.

“I find it difficult to believe that when we are all putting our thinking caps on, trying to figure out what to do and how to do it, any set of people will be irresponsibly requesting for a wage increase. And these set of people are people that we have entrusted out health to at a point like this. I am very disappointed, I think, that is what I will say for now.

Hahahaha Abiodun that was a frustrated Politician for almost 15 years is now calling another person frustrated,

That's a personal problem between the two of them.

If Oshiomole and Ize-Iyamu can work together, who says these two political foes can still not work together.

How can you be demanding for wage increase at this critical time?

Are they trying to hold the government to ransom?
