The 18 local government chairmen and Vice Chairmen were placed on suspension on December 17 by the state House of Assembly at the instance of the governor.

Okpebholo had accused the chairmen and their deputies of insubordination and misconduct on the ground that they did not submit their statement of finances to him.

Fagbemi, in his response said it was only the Legislative Arm of local governments that can sack or place council chairmen on suspension.

According to him, under the current dispensation, local government chairmen cannot just be removed or suspended by any governor without following due process of law.

The minister said, “I am aware that since July 11 when the Supreme Court delivered a landmark judgment, local government administration has taken a new turn, different from the old order.

“At any rate, we are still studying the situation but before final reaction, it must be stated categorically and emphatically that for now, local government chairmen can only be removed through the legislative arm of the local government itself and not the State House of Assembly “, Fagbemi said.
