The Edo State House of Assembly has adopted a resolution to suspend all chairpersons and vice chairpersons of the state’s 18 Local Government Areas for a period of two months.
The council chairpersons and their deputies were suspended after a motion was proposed by Isibor Adeh, the representative for Esan North East One, and supported by Donald Okogbe, the member representing Akoko-Edo II.
Senator Monday Okpebholo, the governor of the state, had submitted a petition to the House regarding the chairmen’s failure to provide the state government with their local governments’ financial records.
