Sacked local govt chairmen, councillors reject payoff from Makinde as ALGON responds
The Chairmen and Councilors who were elected during the May 12th 2018 Local Government election described the move by Makinde to pay them off all their salaries and other entitlements as unacceptable.
Since then, both the council bosses and the Oyo state government under Makinde have been at loggerheads over who controls local government areas in the state. But, the embattled Chairmen and Councillors who belong to the Association of Local Government of Nigeria , have condemned the suggestion by Makinde to pay them off.ALGON, through its lawyer, Kunle Sobaloju, in a letter written to the Counsel to the State Government, Mr Akin Onigbinde, said the suggestion is a disservice to the people of their local government and Oyo State to collect financial compensation in lieu of their constitutionally guaranteed tenure.
“However, our clients consider it a disservice to the people of their respective Local Government Areas and the entire people of Oyo State to collect financial compensation as proposed by you in lieu of their constitutionally guaranteed election tenure.
