Report We Sacked Doctors In Abia Not True – Alex Otti’s Govt
The government of Alex Otti has described as Falsehood reports that the Abia State Ministry of Health has relieved doctors in the state of their employment and asked them to reapply.
In a statement signed by Ferdinand Ekeoma, Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, to the Governor and issued on Monday, July 17, 2023 Mr Otti’s administration said it has only taken steps that will further strengthen the health sector in the state.
The statement…
The public should kindly disregard the Fake news being peddled by the opposition in the state that Doctors in the Abia State Ministry of Health have been sacked and asked to reapply.
As one of the measures to sanitize the Abia Health Sector and ensure the authentication of the identites and up-to-date competence of those still working in the Ministry, especially after investigation showed that some persons who had since left the Ministry still have their names feature in the system, the Ministry met with all personnel and collectively agreed to carry out a Revalidation Exercise, a decision that was generally applauded and accepted. The exercise has been going on smoothly.
Avoidable loss of innocent lives is one of the greatest consequences of playing bad politics with the health of the people; the present government will not toe that path, no matter the amount of blackmail and disinformation being deployed to derail the government and halt the exercise.
The same people circulating the Fake News of alleged sack of Doctors have carried it over to Enyimba Footbal Club Aba through the issuance of a Fake release asking people to reapply for their previous jobs in Enyimba.
The release credited to an unnamed Sporting Director was another dubious strategy aimed at creating confusion and disaffection, all in a bid to express hate and anger against the government for having the courage to change the old order of destruction that enriched a tiny few and impoverished the innocent majority.
The public should disregard the Fake report and other similar Fake reports and continue to throw their weight behind the Alex Otti led-government government as it strives to restore sanity in critical sectors of the state.
