In a statement released on Sunday, the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), alleged that Governor Rauf Aregbesola was planning to sack striking doctors in the state and replace them with traditional healers and witch doctors.

Mr. Odeyemi said, "

Now that all the ill-conceived measures to cow the doctors have failed and the Plan 'B' of replacing them with new intakes had been frustrated by the Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, Governor Aregbesola, wants to experiment with the use of native doctors.
"Governor Aregbesola has a rich history of odd actions all in a bid to be 'unique'. If a governor could unilaterally change the education system in Osun from the 6-3-3-4 operating across the country to 4-6-3 by recategorising primary and secondary schools in the state to Elementary, Middle and High Schools, then his plans to replace orthodox medical doctors with native doctors in this modern age cannot be dismissed with a wave of hand."

The PDP also accused many stakeholders in the state of not doing enough to caution the governor against act that had earned the state negative publicity, charging them not to give up on the state.

"It is truly depressing that a once shining light among states of the federation could be reduced to the least in every aspect that is noble in the space of five years. Osun in the last WAEC rating was 29th and least in the entire South West of Nigeria. In 2010, this same state was 9th in the entire country according to WAEC rating.
"Despite the fact that this and many actions of the present administration left sour taste in the mouth, all stakeholders in the affairs of Osun must not give up. They should rise up against the continued misdemeanor being dressed as governance in Osun state,"
