Oyo Assembly extends Council Chairmen’s tenure.

OYO State House of Assembly has extended the tenure of caretaker committee chairmen across the 33 local government areas and LCDAs in the state by 4 months. 

The  lawmakers on Thursday with one accord approved the extension following a letter from the Executive Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi seeking for the extension of the caretaker chairmen.

The Speaker of the House, Mr Michael Adeyemo while reading the letter disclosed that the Governor stated in the letter that the extension of tenure became necessary due to the adjournment of the court case on creation of some Local Council Development Areas, LCDAs which was adjourned to October this year.

Governor Ajimobi appointed the current Caretaker Chairmen in March, 2017.

In addition, the Speaker, Adeyemo also hinted that the house is still expecting from the executive, the replacement of three names of caretaker nominees disqualified by the honourable members.

He noted that the house can not stampede the executive to present the names because they don’t have legal right to do so.

While addressing the press, shortly after the plenary, the chairman committee on local government and chieftaincy, Hon. Badmus Bolaji said the extension is imperative so as not to create vacuum in the administration of the local council.

He added that the relationship between the committee and people at the grassroot is cordial to enhance enviable development.
