Dr Madewa Badejo, the Medical Director of Lagos State-owned JK Randle Hospital, has directed all staff to present their permanent voter cards (PVCs) to the hospital management as part of strategies to help Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu avoid defeat at the March 11 governorship election.
The incumbent Governor is the flag bearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the anointed candidate of president-elect Bola Tinubu.
Since the Labour Party won the presidential election in the state, the unease in the State has become palpable as an apparent political dynasty is perceived as disrupted.
Many analysts continue to regard Tinubu’s loss in Lagos as a proverbial message of an end to his over 2 decades of grip on the country’s economic capital which he takes credit for as being a product of his vision.
As the Labour Party tries to sustain its new-found momentum in the state, the campaign committees of the ruling APC are under pressure to do everything to ensure the return of Sanwo-Olu for a second term.
The MD of JK Randle Hospital, Madewa Badejo said in his message to a WhatsApp group that a Sanwo-Olu loss could prove damaging to the job security of the civil servants.
The message is perceived as underscoring the allegations of voter intimidation, oppression and abuse of privilege that have been levelled against the ruling party since the campaign began.
His alleged message reads: “Starting from tomorrow, we will be gathering this information to see how we can assist and ensure our employer does not lose his seat, as it can affect us too,” Mr Badejo said.
“Hello everyone, good afternoon and well done for your support and assistance in rendering health care services. Please if you have (PVC’s) Permanent Voters Card, please bring it to the hospital between now and Friday for us to see. Let us know where you live and where your polling booth is,” the message added.
