Alleged Illegal Deduction : Ijebu East Local  Government Political Appointees distance selfs from the allegations by the Chairman, demand probe of N100 million revenue 

The Supervisory Councilors in Ijebu East Local Government Council of Ogun State have disassociated themselves  from the false allegations made by the Council Chairman, Mr. Wale Chairman, Mr. Wale Adedayo.

In a statement issued on Wednesday and jointly signed by Supervisor for Community Development, Hon Folake Adetayo, Supervisor for Agriculture, Hon. Kunle Adesanya, Supervisor for Finance, Hon Jesse Osibanjo and Supervisor for Water and Environment Services, Hon. Fowora Abayomi, the local government functionaries said “we are not in tandem with his actions and wouldn't have been in support of any actions that will stall progress and development of the Local Government under any guise whatsoever.”

The statement reads: “The Association of Supervisory Councilors and other political appointees of Ijebu East Local Government has expressed our displeasure with the manner with which the Local Government Chairman is going about alleging and casting aspersions on the person of H.E Prince Dapo Abiodun,  the Governor of Ogun State.

“We want to sincerely say we are not in tandem with his actions and wouldn't have been in support of any actions that will stall progress and development of the Local Government under any guise whatsoever.

“It is also note worthy to state emphatically that we are not part of the spurious  the allegations raised against the Governor of Ogun State who have on several occasions sent monies in batches to the Local Government for development.

“The Chairman, in his own words, has said in his 2023 Budget Speech that the Ijebu East LG Council received N50 million (fifty million naira) from the state government in 2022 and generated another N50 million as IGR in 2022 totaling N100 million (One hundred million. Whether the allocations were judiciously spent is left for the Chairman, the Head of the Local Government Administration  and the Local Government Treasurer to defend as they are best placed to state the position of things.

“On several occasions, spendings have been carried out without relating with other members of the cabinet Documents of financial transactions and approvals were never given to the Cabinet members as they are always secretly done between the Chairman, the HOLGA and the Treasurer. We Cabinet members have remain m figure-heads for long. Though, no charges have been made public, but we urge the State Government and the House of Assembly  to set up Committees to look into the spendings of the Local Government since 2001 and know its true financial State.

We once again state unequivocally that we remain loyal and committed to the mission and vision of the State for the advancement and development of Ijebu East Local Government and therefore disassociate ourselves totally from the ignoble actions displayed in the last two days by the Local Government Chairman, Mr. Wale Adedayo

The commitment to a brighter future of Ogun State remains our priority and we therefore pledge our unconditional support to Mr Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, in his Building Our Future Together Agenda

Thank You.
