This angers me very much

In the right societies, the other doctors would protest with them
In the right societies, the medical association would be very angry right now
In the right societies, the citizens would protest with them
In a sane society, this would be a reason why this Governor would not win election

But watch out for people that would blame the residence doctors in this thread

The government or politicians are never the problem of this country, but the people and the corrupt society. Argue with your keyboard please

Akeredolu is losing it

PDP might just add this state to their ranks if RD votes sway to their camp.

This is a very wrong response. How can you owe me for months and dis-engage me in the end

APC is wicked

This Santa Claus look alike governor feels he can sack anyone as he wishes. Do the Resident Doctors look to you like your Deputy or his aides who u sacked yesterday? Look these guys will be bigger and better as long as they've got that MBBS certificate. Some will better their lives with mega pay after writing and passing their PLAB 1 & 2 exams or USMLE which will grant them practice license in the UK or USA respectively. In life there is a starting point and that's why u are having them work in your state teaching hospital for peanuts. Give them some few years and you'll be shocked how big life has decorated them. Just look at these rubbish politicians who can hardly present uncontroversial certificates sacking legit peeps

Akeredolu is loosing it.

He didn't take Education and Health sector seriously.

Helinues, I told you.
it will take the grace of God or rigging that will make Akeredolu get elected again.
