Workers at the local government are confused about who to listen to between the state administration and the reinstated APC chairmen.
The reinstated Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State have issued a harsh ultimatum to the employees of the local government departments, demanding that they return to their jobs within the next twenty-four hours.
The APC reinstated chairmen, in a video shared on media, emphasized the critical nature of the situation and cautioned the workers not to allow themselves to be undermined by the People Democratic Party (PDP).
A member of the chairmen addressed the employees and said, “We are back here again on Wednesday but we do not have access to the offices. Don’t allow yourself to be used; they don’t have anything to offer you. You have 24 hours to resume back to work and open all the doors to the offices, else you may lose your job.”
IREPORT247NEW reported on Monday February 24, that a 72-hour resumption order was given by the reinstated chairmen to local government workers in Osun State, according to the All-Progressives Congress (APC) in the State, which has publicly publicized the information.
Workers in the local government were subjected to coercion by the APC, which claimed that any staff of the local government who did not show up for work on Wednesday would be terminated from their post.
Meanwhile, the Osun State Chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) reiterated that members will not resume their duties at the local governments until peace is restored to the councils.
Governor Ademola Adeleke also instructed freshly elected chairmen to defer resumption in order to avoid conflicts with those who are reportedly occupying the offices with the backing of the police.
Workers at the local government are confused about who to listen to between the state administration and the reinstated APC chairmen.
There is already a lot of pressure on these employees to comply or face termination, and the APC reinstated chairmen’s 24-hour ultimatum just makes things worse.
Watching the Osun State administration and local government workers deal with this intricate political and legal stalemate is everyone’s top priority as the deadline draws near.
