The Ogun House of Assembly has summoned the State Accountant-General and also all members of the Joint Account Allocations Committee to appear before it for explanations over alleged zero allocations to local government areas in the state.
The Speaker of the Assembly, Hon Olakunle Oluomo, said this on Thursday during plenary, noting that the reason for the invitation was for thorough explanation to the House on what was happening at the local governments so that the people of the state could be fully briefed.
“We have the power to investigate what’s happening in our state and then do the needful.
“But I want to appeal to those that are concerned to please let’s maintain law, peace and order in our various places particularly in Ijebu East local government where I heard that protests are going on.
“Everyone should calm down and allow us to do our job.
“I hereby invite the accountant-general of the state and all members of the joint account allocations committee to appear before the hoyuse on Friday by 1pm.
“They are to come and explain to the House what exactly is happening so that the people of the state shall be fully briefed,” he said.
Meanwhile, Tribune Online earlier reports that seven councillors of the Ijebu East local government area have suspended the chairman who accused Governor Dapo Abiodun of diverting allocation meant for local government areas in the state.
