Oyo Assembly extends LGs caretaker Chairmen’s tenure by 4 months

The Oyo State House of Assembly on Thursday extended the tenure of caretaker committee chairmen in all the 33 Local Government Areas and 35 Local Council Development Areas in the state by another four (4) months.
The lawmakers during their plenary presided over by its Speaker, Hon. Michael Adesina unanimously approved the extension following a letter from the Executive Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi seeking for the extension of the tenure.

While reading the letter, Adeyemo said the Governor stated in the letter that the extension of tenure became imperative due to the adjournment of the court case on creation of some Local Council Development Areas, LCDAs to October this year.

TITOPE BLOG recalled that Ajimobi had appointed the current Caretaker Chairmen in March this year.
Adeyemo added that the house was still expecting from the executive, the replacement of three names of caretaker nominees disqualified by the house.

He noted that the house cannot stampede the executive to present the names because they don’t have legal right to do so.
Chairman, House committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Badmus Bolaji said the extension was necessary so as not to create vacuum in the administration of the local council.
