Wada Sacks 15 Council Chairmen For Defecting To APC by Heazy2015(m): 8:21pm On Nov 24, 2015 |
Gov. Idris Wada of Kogi on Tuesday removed 15 chairmen of
local governments from office for defecting to the rival All
Progressives Congress (APC).
*Gov. Wada
This is contained in a statement issued in Lokoja and signed by
the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Local Governments
and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr James Adedoyin in Lokoja.
The statement cited section 20 sub section ( 1) and section 36
sub section 1 (d) of Kogi State Local Government Law 2000 as
amended to back the action.
It explained that the sacked chairmen can no longer remain in
office having decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party
( PDP) that sponsored them.
Some of the affected council chairmen include that of Lokoja,
Ogori-Magongo, Idah, Adavi, Ankpa, Okehi, Bassa, Yagba East,
Yagba West and Okene among others.
They defected to the APC during the grand finale of its
governorship campaign held in Lokoja on Nov. 18.
The statement warned the sacked council chairmen to stay
away from offices, directing the vice chairmen or the council
leaders to take over the affairs of the affected councils as may
be appropriate.
The governor said the handing and taking over should be
completed by Wednesday Nov. 25, the statement said.
One of the grounds for their defection was the refusal of
Wada to implement a decision of the Court of Appeal in Abuja
on Oct 29 that nullified the removal of the elected chairmen
from office.
They were removed from office based on the order of a Kogi
State High Court sitting in Koton Karfe which ruled that the
election of May 4, 2013 which brought them into office was
faulty. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/wada-sacks-15-council-chairmen-for-defecting-to-apc/ |
