The Oyo State House of Assembly on Tuesday reinstated the suspended Chairman of Saki East Local Government, Mr Emmanuel Adedokun.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that this followed a report by Mr Olajide Akintunde, Chairman, House Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters.
Olajide stated the committee engaged local government officers and political stakeholders to examine the petition and develop recommendations for the House.
He said the committee acted on a House directive to investigate a petition titled: ‘Call for Urgent Intervention and Holistic Investigation.’
The committee held meetings with the acting Chairman, Mr Rasaq Moruf, and the Leader of the House, Mr Wahab Adebayo.
Others consulted included the Head of Local Government Administration, Mr Raji Abiola, Director of Finance and Administration, Mr Idowu, and the suspended chairman, Adedokun.
The House directed the acting Chairman and Vice Chairman to resume their former roles as Vice Chairman and Council Leader, respectively.
NAN recalls that on March 18, the Assembly received a petition seeking urgent intervention in the affairs of Saki East under Adedokun’s leadership.
The petition was referred to the House Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters for thorough investigation and appropriate action.
