Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has
suspended four local government chairmen for non-payment of staff salaries,
diversion of funds among others. The four chairmen are
Emmanuel Momoh, Etsako Central Local Government Area; Victor Enobakhare, Egor
Local Government Area; Osaro Obazee, Oredo Local Government Area and Roland
Ibierutomwen, Orhionmwon Local Government Area. A letter to the Speaker of the
Edo State House of Assembly, signed by the Secretary to the State Government,
Prof Julius Ihonvbere, said that their suspension, which is for two months, is
to pave the way for unhindered investigation into several allegations against
the chairmen. The allegations include non-payment of staff salaries without
satisfactory explanations, inability to account for Internally Generated
Revenue, diversion of funds, failure to follow due process in the award of
contracts as well as illegal employment of senior officers without going
through Local Government Service Commission, which is a violation of laid-down
provisions. The statement said that during the period of suspension, relevant
panels would be constituted to investigate the allegations against the affected
chairmen.
Has laoreet percipitur ad. Vide interesset in mei, no his legimus verterem. Et nostrum imperdiet appellantur usu, mnesarchum referrentur id vim.
