In what looks like last minute attempt to woo the electorate in Osun State, Lagos-based station, Television Continental (TVC), in a governorship debate gave opportunities to the governorship candidates to address the voters.<\/p>\n

She stated that improved electricity in the state will motivate manufacturers to move their factories to Osun State.<\/p>\n

In his own comment, candidate of the Labour Party, Segun Fanibe, at the debate was not happy about the half salaries given to medical doctors in the state. <\/p>\n

\u201cDoctors are next to God! How can they be paid half salaries? We need to bridge the gap in the health sector and we need to employ more doctors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Fanibe added that, \u201cThe state of health care in Osun is bad. The hospitals lack drugs. We have 600 primary health care centres in Osun State and we are about 3.4 million people. We need more health centres.<\/p>\n

The governorship election is scheduled to hold Saturday, September 22,2018 across the state and the umpire, Independent National Electoral Commissions (INEC), is already set to conduct the poll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
