Oyo State House of Assembly nullifies the purported suspension of Chairman of Irepo Local Government Area, Asifu Sulaiman and his vice, Ojedele Victoria over alleged misconduct. ICYMI Nigeria
Describing the suspension process as inconclusive, the House also noted that pending the time its Committee on Local Government Affairs investigates and submits its report, Adediran-Sulaiman and Ojedele remain the recognised leaders of the council and should be allowed to perform their duties.
The disapproval of the House followed a letter written by councilors of Irepo Local Government Area to the state lawmakers, seeking their approval of the duo’s suspension. Supporting Ojo, Chairman, House Committee on Information, Joshua Oyebamiji, said the Assembly Law of 2001 on removal or suspension of elected officials, especially chairmen and their vice emphasised certain roles for councilors, Chief Judge and House of Assembly, which were not followed as stipulated.
