Assembly reverses Amosun’s appointments, suspends 57 LG chairmen

The Ogun State House of Assembly yesterday reversed all last minute appointments, employments and financial engagements of the former governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun.

Amosun appointed 21 permanent secretaries and 75 more traditional rulers in the twilight of his government. The Assembly suspended its standing orders 45 -48 to allow the consecutive second and third readings of the bill. The Speaker, Surah Adekunbi, directed the Clerk of the House to prepare a neat copy of the bill for the governor’s assent.

The legislature equally suspended all the chairmen in 20 local government areas and 37 local council development areas. This, according to the assembly, is to allow for investigation on allegations leveled against them on gross misconduct and misappropriation of public funds.
