"Hon.Kayode Olujobi voted as the new council leader"
There is palpable tension in Yaba Local council Development Area (LCDA) of Lagos state as the Leader of the house, Hon Solomon Gbinige was impeached by his colleagues
It was gathered that his removal was instigated by politicians in the LCDA ,who are uncomfortable with the towering political journey of the former leader ,hon Gbinige
Information gathered that the crux of the matter was the recent Legislative Seminar in the United Kingdom,which he was granted visa and his colleagues felt,instead of him going, the slot should have been handed over to his deputy,a move that degenerated to heated arguments between them and at the end of the day,so many other infractions were leveled against the former leader ,which prompted his removal
It was reliablly made known that the UK trip which triggered the whole impeachment was a state sponsored trip for six principals of the council ,which includes the Council Chairman,Vice Chairman,Council Manager, Secretary to the local government,Council Treasurer and the Leader of the council Legislative house
While others mentioned above aside the Former Council leader have used their slots personally, it was disclosed that the former leader was compelled to relinquish his own slot to his deputy,a move that Hon Gbinige resisted
This medium learnt that the impeachment was a political victimisation by Politicians, especially the Executive arm of the local government
Efforts to get his own side of the argument was unsuccessful
A new Leader, in person of Hon Kayode Olujobi was immediately elected the new leader.
Political pundits are of the opinion that the impeachment,no doubt will reverberate for so long as the former leader equally has his political leaders ,who will not take kindly to the impeachment
