FAYEMI SACKS COUNCIL CHAIRMEN, APPOINTS NEW SECRETARIES

Date:

Governor
Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State has dissolved the caretaker committees of the 16
local government areas of the state, with the state House of Assembly saying it
has approved the reconstitution of the committees.
Speaker of the Assembly, Dr Adewale Omirin,
according to a statement made available to newsmen in Ado Ekiti, “read a letter
from the governor notifying the House of the need to reconstitute the
committees so as not to give room for vacuum at the third tier of government.”
The statement quoted the Majority Leader of
the assembly, Mr Churchill Adedipe, to have moved the motion for the approval
of the reconstitution, pointing out that the action was based on the provision
of “Section 4 sub section 4 of the Local Government Transition Committee Law of
Ekiti State.”

According to the statement, the motion,
seconded by Honourable Seyi Shittu, representing Ado Constituency 1 was
supported by other members of the assembly.
It said: “The lawmakers described the
constitution of transition committees to oversee the affairs of governance at
the local government level in Ekiti State as a child of necessity.”
The lawmakers said the current litigation
on the composition of the State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC)
justified the re-composition of caretaker committees at the councils, saying
their reconstitution was “in the interest of people at the grass roots.”
Meanwhile, Governor Fayemi has appointed
new caretaker committees for the 16 local government areas of the state,
following the sacking of the previous chairmen.
A statement by the Secretary to the State
Government (SSG), Alhaji Ganiyu Owolabi, said “Ekiti State governor, Dr Kayode
Fayemi has approved the re-composition of the caretaker committees in the 16
local councils.”
The statement said “the newly appointed
chairmen and secretaries of the 16 councils would be inaugurated on Friday
(today)”, adding that “the event will take place at Jibowu Hall, Government
House Grounds by 9.00a.m.
Among the newly appointed secretaries is
the immediate past chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ekiti
State Council, Mr Tai Oguntayo, who has been appointed to serve as the
