THE State Government of Osun has reinstated a teacher at Masifa Community Grammar School in Ejigbo Local Government, Mr Philip Akinyemi who was earlier suspended for allegedly abusing Governor Adegboyega Oyetola through a facebook post.
Akinyemi was in December 2021 suspended indefinitely by the government, accusing him of posting “abusive” comments and pictures against Oyetola on facebook.
The facebook posts were said to be in favour of ‘The Osun Progressives’, a caucus of the All Progressives Congress loyal to the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, in the state.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Alh. Jamiu Olawunmi, confirmed Akinyemi’s reinstatement to newsmen on Wednesday.
Olawunmi said the teacher was reinstated after showing remorse.
He said: “The essence of punishment is to reform not destroy. Suspending him is to reform him and make him be of good conduct and respect the office of the governor.
Also, the teacher confirmed his reinstatement to OSUN DEFENDER on a telephone interview.
When asked if his political position has changed, the teacher said, “I am now neutral.”
He added: “It is true that I have been reinstated. I am happy and I thank the government.”
