The embattled Chairman of Alimosho Local Government Council, Lagos, Jelili Suleiman, has said that his purported suspension by the State House of Assembly is illegal and unconstitutional.
The lawyer said that the coercive actions of the Speaker and the encroachment of the Assembly on the constitutional power of the local government will be resisted within the bounds of law. “By allegedly suspending Hon. Jelili Sulaimon, the Speaker and the Lagos State House of Assembly have acted in clear defiance of the constitutional principles enunciated by the apex court, thereby exceeding their constitutional mandates,’’ he said.
