Osun Assembly Suspends Osogbo South LCDA Chairman, Hon Olaoye, Rejects ‘Vote Of No Confidence’ On Olorunda Council Boss, Hon Anisu
The State of Osun House of Assembly has suspended the Chairman of Osogbo South Local Council Development Area, Hon AbdulHakeem Olaoye.
The State House of Assembly ordered that the embattled Chairman of Osogbo South Local Council Development Area, Hon. Abdulhakeem Olaoye vacate his seat as the Chairman of the LCDA for a period of two months.
The State Assembly also rejected the vote of no confidence passed on the Chairman of Olounda Local Government of the state, Hon. Munirudeen Anisu.
The Speaker, Rt. Hon Timothy Owoeye at plenary after receiving the report and recommendations of the joint Committees on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs and Judiciary, Legal Matters, Public petitions and Human Rights also asked that the Chairman should handover to the Vice-Chairman for a period of two months.
He emphasised that the joint Committees of the House having examined and investigated various allegations levelled against the chairman of Osogbo South via-a-vis his response, found him wanting of the allegations of gross misconduct.
According to the Speaker, “The Chairman, having failed to comply with section 3, 4A (iv) and (v) of the “Guidelines for the Administration of Local Government Areas, Local Council Development Areas, Area Councils and Administrative offices in the State of Osun, 2018” should vacate his office for a period of two months beginning from Monday 13th January 2020 to 12th March 2020.
“The suspension doesn’t remove the Chairman as a Parliamentarian, he is still representing his people as a councillor, the Vice-Chairman will be there in acting capacity, after the expiration of the suspension, the chairman will return to his position as the chairman”.
Owoeye on the allegations of gross misconduct levelled against the chairman of Olounda, stated that there was no credible evidence to pass a vote of no confidence on the chairman.
The Speaker held that the purported notification of vote of no confidence passed on Hon. Anisu is retroactive and incurably bad, saying the date of the notification is at variance with the date the Councillors purportedly held plenary.
He noted that the House also rejected the vote of no confidence on the Chairman of Olounda because the four out of the eighth Parliamentarians who passed it could not provide credible evidence that they held any plenary sitting after the resolution of the House of Assembly passed on Monday 6th January, 2020 among other findings of the joint Committees of the House.
