AIDE DEFENDS OKPEBHOLO'S SUSPENSION OF EDO LG CHAIRMEN, CITES CONSTITUTIONAL POWERS. (PHOTO).

The Chief Press Secretary to Edo State governor, Fred Itua has said the state governor, Monday Okpehbolo’s request to the House of Assembly to suspend the chairmen was done within his constitutional powers.


In a statement on Friday, Itua said the request was part of Okpehbolo’s oversight function as the governor.


He said, “The suspension of local government chairmen in Edo State has sparked an intense debate.

However, a closer examination of the Constitution and the Federal Attorney General’s comments, reveal that the decisions by the Edo State House of Assembly, vis-a-vis, the Governor of the State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, are entirely justified.


“From a legal perspective, the Governor’s request to the House of Assembly to suspend the chairmen was done within his constitutional powers.


“The House of Assembly had the right to turn down the request but opted to act on it. It is therefore unfair to blame the Governor. If the Governor had the power to suspend the council chairmen unilaterally, he would not have resorted to drafting a letter to the House of Assembly.


Itua noted that the concept of autonomy was often misunderstood, noting that it does not mean that council chairmen can not be overseen.


He stated, “The House of Assembly has the powers to oversight the activities of the Governor, and similarly, the Governor has the right to exercise oversight over local government chairmen. The ongoing EFCC investigation of the 18 local government chairmen underscores the importance of accountability in governance.


He added, “It is essential to note that the apex Court is both a court of law and a police court and while it has the power to make policy decisions, it cannot exercise this power when the Constitution is clear on a matter. In this case, the Constitution is clear on who has the power to superintend over local government matters.


“While the opposition party may be quick to pass a sweeping judgment, a more nuanced understanding of the issue will reveal that the actions by the Edo State House of Assembly and the Edo State Government are justifiable.


“Again, for the records, the chairmen were not removed from office but suspended due to suspicious activities, and the Governor has the right to exercise the power of oversight.”

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
