Ogun Councillors Suspends Chairman Who Accused Abiodun Of Funds Diversion

The Chairman of Ijebu East Local Government Area of Ogun State Wale Adedayo has been suspended for three months on allegations of maladministration and financial mismanagement.

Seven out of the eleven councilors that consists of the local government legislative council signed the suspension over several allegations and the need to investigate the alleged misconduct.

The council legislature has, however, directed him to appear at its next sitting on Thursday, September 14, 2023.

Fifteen allegations were levelled against the suspended chairman and he is expected to defend them.

The councilors accused the suspended chairman of withdrawing N4 million from the local account for empowerment in 2022 which never happened. They also accused him of a waste of N2 million on Isese Day on August 20, 2022.

The move is coming as the suspended chairman few days ago accused Governor Dapo Abiodun of the diversion of local government funds. But he and other local government chairmen the following day apologized to the Governor for the act.
