Tension in Oyo as sacked council chairmen resume

There was tension in the various local government areas and local council development areas across Oyo State on Monday as some sacked local government chairmen and councillors, under the aegis of the

Association of Local Government of Nigeria, resumed at their former duty posts.

Abass-Aleshinloye, who was the Chairman of the Oluyole Local Government of Oyo State, said their return was in compliance with a Supreme Court judgment. Abass-Aleshinloye said, “Our tenure is to expire next year and after the expiration of our tenure, Governor Seyi Makinde still has about two years to conduct election. The days of impunity in this country are over.”

“You decides to respect the one that favours you but abandoned us. It is unfortunate; I don’t see it persisting.”It was gathered that Olamijuwonlo, a son of former governor Adebayo Alao-Akala, resumed at the Ogbomoso North Local Government amid a crowd of supporters. The state chairman of the National Union of Local Government Employees, Mr Bayo Titilola-Sodo, said members complied with the sit-at-home order, adding that the union would review reports to know the next line of action.

Asked what could have accounted for the AGF’s interest and directive to Oyo State on the reinstatement of the sacked local government chairmen in the state, the Chief Press Secretary to the state Governor, Taiwo Adisa, said, “Oyo is not violating the constitution in any way. The councils are being managed in accordance with the local government law of Oyo State. Only the AGF knows why he is focusing on Oyo.
