The Oyo State House of Assembly has suspended the Chairman of Oyo East Local Government, Olusola Oluokun, over a viral video that sparked controversy.
The Chairman was suspended on Thursday after the presentation of a matter of urgent public importance titled “Urgent Call for Full Investigation into the indecent attitude of the Chairman, Oyo East Local Government, Mr Olusola Oluokun, in a viral video online.”
The video showed Oluokun eating half-naked and praising a political stalwart who helped him become chairman.
He also allegedly rained curses on those perceived as enemies of his benefactor.
Oluokun’s actions in the video were deemed unbecoming of an elected local government chairman.
The House has, therefore, set up a committee to investigate the matter, pending which the Vice Chairman will act as Chairman.
The House condemned the act, describing it as unbecoming of an elected local government chairman.
The Speaker, Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, said the House would not condone such indecent behaviour.
He said the swift action taken by the House demonstrates its commitment to maintaining the integrity and dignity of public office.
