Titled: ‘Re: Suspension of Sulaimon Jelili, Chairman, Alimosho Local Government Area Resolution of the House’.

The appointment letter read:

“I write to refer to the resolution of the House of Assembly in respect of the above subject, which states that Sulaimon Jelili has been suspended indefinitely from Office as the Chairman, Alimosho Local Government

Why Lagos sacked Alimosho council

Recall that the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday suspended Jelili Sulaimon from office following various allegations by the lawmakers.

The lawmakers resolved at the sitting that Johnson should take over the running of the affairs of the council.

The lawmakers further instructed the management of the council, including the manager and treasurer, to recognise Johnson and accord him all the support to make him work effectively.

Meanwhile, four out of the seven councillors have denounced the purported suspension of Johnson by their three colleagues.

In a press release signed by the four councillors, including Deputy Leader Mojisola Fabusuyi Ayeni (Ward D), Saheed Adejoke (Ward C), Rasheed Semiu (Ward E), Elizabeth Fashina (Ward F), they commended the House of Assembly for intervening while urging stakeholders’ in the council to go about their activities peacefully.
