The four councillors in the letter, a copy of which was sent to the office of the Commissioner for Local Government Affairs, Mr. Bimbo Kolade said, “Take notice that we the undersigned councillors in Ogbomoso Local Government Area hereby passed a resolution suspending you from the office as the executive chairman of Ogbomoso North Local Government for your gross misconduct”.

The new Chairman, Bello was inaugurated as Chairman of the council by the Oyo State commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Mr. Bimbo Kolade on Wednesday in Ibadan, the state capital.
