LGA's: You Are After Local Government Money — Makinde Tells Sacked LG Bosses

-

Engr Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo State, has declared that the local government chairmen who were sacked last year, are after the money of the local government areas in the state

Makinde made this declaration while speaking at the foundation stone laying ceremony for the construction of traditional council building, “Mini Mapo” in Ibadan South West Local Government and initiated by the former governor of Oyo State, High Chief Rashidi Ladoja.

At the event were the Osi Olubadan Of Ibadanland Sen Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja and Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji Aje Ogungunniso.

It was gathered that Makinde had last year dissolved the council bosses who were elected at an election conducted in May 12th 2018 local government elections during the tenure of Mr. Abiola Ajimobi as Governor.

The sacked LG bosses, who had been waiting at home after almost 8 months of legal battle, resumed their various offices yesterday.

But, Makinde while reacting, insisted that the sacked chairmen are only after the money of the various councils.

Makinde said, “Those who are fighting that they want to come back and take over the councils are all after the money of the local government areas.

“They are gone forever. They are after the money of the local government areas. You know that some local government areas have money that is why they said that they wanted to come back.

“It is my belief that God will change them. It is my belief that they will change their minds”.
