The 33 Local Government Chairmen in Oyo state unanimously state their unequivocal loyalty to the Executive Governor of the state, Engr Seyi Makinde due to his exemplary leadership and unrivalled achievements since his assumption of office.
The Chairmen of the 33 Local council areas also unanimously agreed to establish a new association to continue serving the people of the state at the grassroots.
The Oyo 33 local government chairmen made the resolution on Saturday in Ibadan after a closed-door meeting.
According to a communique signed by all the 33 Local Government chairmen, the decision for all to operate under a new association was made as a result of the need to protect and provide for the people in their various local government areas.
The intended association of the local government executive chairmen will be registered under the relevant Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
The communique release by the PRO reads
At the general meeting of ALL the Local Government Councils of Oyo State, held on Saturday 3rd August 2024 at Ibadan, it was voluntarily agreed and resolved as Follows:
1. That in order to inter alia protect the interest of our people, we should forthwith form an umbrella association. Such organization will be registered under the relevant Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and its membership shall be institutional-represented by the chairmen of respective Local Government Councils
2. That the association shall remain committed to the democratic ideas of the system of Local Government as enshrined in the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended). Furthermore the association shall ensure the delivery of the real development in local councils in the overall interest of our people at the local level
Please leave those Local Government Chairmen in those State that against Supreme Judgement alone,
What I know is that whenever they bow to what their Governor saying in terms of neglecting Court judgement,
All of them will smell pepper, because there is no immunity for them like Governor.
