Strike Action Not Targeted At Buhari – Resident Doctors

The five week old strike by doctors at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido-Ekiti (FETHI) is not targeted at President Muhammadu Buhari, the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), have said.
The association said the strike action was for the payment of its members entitlements.
A statement yesterday by ARD President, Otutoaja Uzoma and Secretary-General, Ekundayo Oladeji, urged the FETHI Chief Medical Director, Dr. Majekodunmi Ayodele, to pay all their outstanding entitlements and see to the welfare of other health workers.
They said: “For clarity sake, our association is neither against the populace, nor the Federal Government, which has done the needful but the CMD has thrown caution to the wind and has continually sabotaged governance by refusing to release these emoluments.
“We are not unaware that the CMD has been singing the song of ‘no money’, ‘there is shortfall in the budget’, but we implore the world to ask the CMD the whereabouts of close to a billion naira yearly excess he has been raking in since he assumed office.
“It should be noted that the association is neither drawing battle lines nor propagating the opinions of any individual or group”.
