Following this action, Residents of Ijebu Ode have given 48 hours to Mr Emilola-Gazal to explain how he had spent the allocation he had received from the federal government in the last two years of his leadership of the council.
Some residents of Ijebu Ode Local Government Area of Ogun State have given the council chairman, Babatunde Emilola-Gazal, 48 hours to explain how he had spent federal allocations to the council since he assumed office two years ago.
Mr Adedayo has since been suspended by his councillors in Ijebu East LGA for alleged “financial maladministration” and detained briefly by the State Security Service . In the note, the residents wrote: “You are hereby given 48 hours to furnish the Ijebus how you spend the allocations. Failing to do this will lead to protests within the local government. By Concerned Citizens.”
But, speaking with our correspondent, Mr Emilola-Gazal said the posters were sponsored by his political opponents.
