During the swearing in ceremony, the governor urged the transition chairmen to cooperate with the PLHA and ensure that all documents required for the investigation were provided for appropriate action.


“This administration will not condone any form of indiscipline, you are expected to stabilise the LGA council and not see it as an opportunity to amass wealth.


“Also remember that this is a transitional administration that can give way any time government chooses,” he said.
