Osun assembly suspends chairman of Osogbo LCDA

Osun state House of Assembly has suspended the chairman of Osun south local council development area,  Osogbo, Abdulhakeem Olaoye, for a period of two months.

Also, the assembly rejected the vote of no confidence passed on the chairman of Olorunda local government of the state,  Munirudeen Anisu.

The speaker, Osun House of Assembly,  Timothy Owoeye, at the plenary Tuesday, received the report and recommendations of the joint committees on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs and Judiciary, Legal Matters, Public petitions and Human Rights.

He directed that Olaoye should handover to the vice chairman for a period of two months.

The parliamentarians had removed Olaoye over alleged gross misconduct, but the House of Assembly,  led by Owoeye faulted the removal and ordered his return to the local government.

Owoeye subsequently ordered the parliamentarians to vacate their seat pending the investigation of the matter by the assembly.

Immediately after the assembly lifted suspension on the parliamentarians, they passed a vote of no confidence on the embattled chairman.

The assembly on Tuesday emphasised that the joint committees of the House having examined and investigated various allegations leveled against the chairman of Osogbo South via-a-vis his response, found him wanting of the allegations of gross misconduct.
