Breaking: Lagos Assembly Suspends Alimosho Council Chairman

By Onome Naomi

The Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday handed down an indefinite suspension to the chairman of the Alimosho Local Government Area, Jelili Sulaimon. The suspension is with immediate effect.

Sitting at plenary, the lawmakers resolved that the vice chairman of the council, Mr. Akinpelu Johnson, should take over the running of its affairs.

The House further instructed the management of the council, including the manager and treasurer, to recognise the authority of the vice chairman and accord him all the to make him work effectively.

The chairman was suspended in a unanimous vote by the lawmakers over an alleged non-compliance, defiance and unyielding attitude to the legislative House.

Moving a motion for his suspension, the Chairman of the House Committee on Local Government istration and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Sanni Okanlawon, recalled that in April 2024, pandemonium broke out in the Iyana-Ipaja axis of Alimosho Local Government leading to the death of one Mr. Micheal Ajayi.

Hon. Okanlawon, whose committee was saddled with the responsibility to investigate the cause of the pandemonium, said that it was discovered that Jelili masterminded the chaos.

According to Okanlawon, all stakeholders involved in the issue were invited, but Jelili had continued to show acts of misconduct to the committee of the House.

He highlighted the council chairman’s failure to adhere to the Assembly's directives and his mismanagement of public funds. He, therefore, called for Jelili's immediate suspension in line with relevant sections of the 1999 Constitution as amended.

"He should be suspended immediately while the vice chairman, Akin Johnson, takes over with immediate effect," he prayed.

Majority Leader of the House, Noheem Adams, while ing the call for Jelili's suspension, added that the action would make other local government chairmen sit well.

"The Alimosho council chairman does not follow procurement processes or the budget. There has been a lot of misconducts from him and I that the chairman be suspended indefinitely," he said.

In his contribution Hon. Nureni Akinsanya, Chairman of the House Committee on Public s for Local Government, referred to the report submitted by the State Auditor-General concerning the activities of Jelili. The report underscored the council chairman's consistent non-compliance with financial regulations, with significant irregularities in his records.

Akinsanya, emphasising these discrepancies, ed Okanlawon’s call for Jelili's suspension.

Similarly, Hon. Ladi Ajomale expressed surprise that the council chairman had been recalcitrant despite previous reports detailing his alleged financial mismanagement.

Hon. Sa'ad Olumoh, while echoing his concerns, also prayed the House to invite Mr. Kolade Alabi and Mr. Rasak Ajala, chairmen of Bariga LCDA and Odi Olowo LCDA respectively, as heads of the Conference 57, to explain the widespread disregard by council chairmen for governance protocols.

The Speaker, Rt. Hon. (Dr) Mudashiru Obasa, who presided over the sitting, directed the Clerk of the House, Barr. Olalekan Onafeko, to communicate the Assembly's resolution to all relevant authorities

Eromosele Ebhomele, Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly related this report to the press on Monday October 7th, 2024.

Whenever you see something like this know he isn't yielding to their wicked demands and doesn't want to be their puppet...bunch of thieves.

Lie lie Assembly maybe the guy is not ready to do boy boy for the Speaker.

Assembly suspending a democratically elected Chairman, you can only find such things in Lagos

..

🙄

If this is possible then the governors are still in charge as they control the Assembly... What's the point of the local government Autonomy??

Only the councilors should be a able to remove their chairman...

Can the National Assembly remove a Governor??




Pathetic!

😏

That law must have been promulgated by states to Conner the local government funds before the era of Local Government Autonomy... It's never under the Nigerian constitution...



Same as saying National Assembly oversee the Governors affairs and have Powers to discipline them...
