June, 2023: Plateau Governor Caleb Muftwang suspended all 17 APC LGA Chairmen and Councillors, and appointed Caretaker Committee to run Councils. PDP members did not complain.
In July 2024, Supreme Court ruled that LG Chairman cannot be removed or sacked by Governors.
October 2024: Lagos State Government suspended the Chairman of Alimosho Local Government Area, Jelili Sulaimon. There was no outcry from any quarter. The Chairman has been restored after investigation absolved him.
December 2024: Governor Monday Okpebholo followed due process to suspend the Edo State LGA Chairmen after obtaining approval from PDP dominated House of Assembly. He did not appoint Caretaker, the Councillors are still in position and Acting Chairmen sworn in already. He followed due process like Lagos did two months earlier in Alimosho LGA.
What PDP and Obaseki supporters fail to understand via mischief is that the Governor’s decision is in line with the Supreme Court Judgement 100%. In the sense that the LGA Chairmen are still Chairmen till this date, but only suspended from carrying out the functions of their offices due to an ongoing investigation in line with best practices. If investigation absolves them they will be restored, otherwise, their respective Councillors may decide their fate.
Governor Okpebholo must be supported by all Edo sons and daughters.
A new Edo is rising!
