The suspension is effective right now.
During a plenary session, the legislators decided that Mr. Akinpelu Johnson, the vice chairman of the council, should assume leadership of the organization’s operations. The House also directed the council’s management, which included the manager and treasurer, to acknowledge the vice chairman’s authority and provide him with all the resources necessary for him to perform well.
The lawmakers unanimously decided to suspend the chairman for allegedly disobeying the legislative House and acting in a defiant manner. The House Committee on Local Government Administration and Chieftaincy Affairs Chairman, Hon. Sanni Okanlawon, moved a motion to suspend him. He recalled that in April 2024, chaos broke out in the Iyana-Ipaja axis of Alimosho Local Government, resulting in the death of one Mr. Michael Ajayi. According to Hon. Okanlawon, whose committee was tasked with looking into what caused the chaos, Jelili was found to be the mastermind behind it all.
All parties involved in the matter were invited, according to Okanlawon, but Jelili had persisted in displaying inappropriate behavior in front of the House committee. He emphasized the council chairman’s misappropriation of public funds and disregard for the Assembly’s directives. He, therefore, called for Jelili’s immediate suspension in line with relevant sections of the 1999 Constitution as amended. “He should be suspended immediately while the vice chairman, Akin Johnson, takes over with immediate effect,” he prayed. Majority Leader of the House, Noheem Adams, while supporting the call for Jelili’s suspension, added that the action would make other local government chairmen sit well. “The Alimosho council chairman does not follow procurement processes or the budget.
There has been a lot of misconducts from him and I support that the chairman be suspended indefinitely,” he said. In his speech Hon. Nureni Akinsanya, Chairman of the House Committee on Public Accounts for Local Government, referred to the report submitted by the State Auditor-General about the actions of Jelili. The audit underlined the council chairman’s chronic non-compliance with financial standards, including substantial abnormalities in his records.
Akinsanya, emphasising these discrepancies, suported Okanlawon’s call for Jelili’s suspension. Similarly, Hon. Ladi Ajomale expressed surprise that the council chairman had been recalcitrant despite previous reports detailing his alleged financial mismanagement. Hon. Sa’ad Olumoh, while echoing his concerns, also prayed the House to invite Mr. Kolade Alabi and Mr. Rasak Ajala, chairmen of Bariga LCDA and Odi Olowo LCDA respectively, as heads of the Conference 57, to explain the widespread disregard by council chairmen for governance protocols. The sitting’s speaker, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Mudashiru Obasa, gave the House Clerk, Barr. Olalekan Onafeko, instructions to inform the pertinent authorities of the Assembly’s resolution. Eromosele Ebhomele is the Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker’s chief press secretary.
