Supreme Court Nullifies Makinde's Sack Of LGA Chairmen, Councillors In Oyo State by fergie001: 1:25pm On May 07, 2021
HOW IT ALL STARTED
All the 68 Chairmen and Councillors were elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday May 12, 2018, when the late Senator Abiola Ajimobi was the Governor of Oyo state.

The Chairman of the "sacked" Association of Local Government Of Nigeria (ALGON), Oyo State chapter, Prince Ayodeji Abass-Alesinloye (who doubled as the Local Government Chairman for Oluyole LGA) had obtained an injunction from the Oyo State High Court on May 6, 2019, that restrained the incoming Governor of the State, the State House of Assembly and agents of Government from sacking them.

The sacked chairmen had held on to the injunction when Gov. Seyi Makinde’s administation sacked them on May 29, 2019.

The Government under Makinde nonetheless, approached the Court of Appeal and sought to quash the order, telling the higher court that the injunction was speculative because he had not been sworn in as Governor when it was obtained.

However, in the unanimous judgment of the Court of Appeal, read by Justice Simon Haruna Tsammani, supported by Justices Olujinmi Kayode Bada and Afolashade Ayodeji Ojo, the order of the lower court was set aside on the grounds that it was speculative and premature at the time it was obtained because the incumbent administration had not come to power then.

The Appeal Court okayed the sack.

The Chairmen and Councillors approached the Supreme Court.

SUPREME COURT DECISION

The Supreme Court described the dissolution of elected local councils in Oyo State and replacement by caretaker committees as illegal.

The former Chairmen and Councillors will now receive full pay for their full 3-year tenures.

The ruling by the Court will ensure that sacked chairmen, councillors whose tenure are about to expire will now receive the full pay for the 3 years they were supposed to be in Office

SOURCE

MINISTER OF YOUTH AND SPORTS DEVELOPMENT reacts:

Oyo ALGON : Today’s Supreme Court Judgement is landmark. It set a new preceedent. Supreme Court was unsparing and unequivocal in its judgement. Congratulations to all dissolved Council Chairmen and Councillors. Will receive full salaries and allowances.

Nigerian Governors always trying to pocket local government forgetting that it’s the same selection that brought all of them in.

governors in APC have sacked chairmen in the past and heaven did not fall. A state like kwara state sacked the democratically elected chairmen and nothing happened from our judiciary till today. This judgement is very sound but it should not be selected

Hmm...if a governor decides when to elect them, shouldn't a governor determine when they should be scrapped? While this is not right in the real sense of things, this is how we have been operating.

The Supreme Court is an author of confusion in the Nigerian politics.

nothing happened because the sacked people didn't go to supreme court to challenge it like these ones.

Did you read the part where they said this current judgement is landmark?
