The Kogi State House of Assembly has reinstated the suspended Council boss of Okene Local Government, Hon. Abdulrazaq Muhammed Yusuf.
Recall that the house had on 30th November 2021 suspended the Okene Council boss over alleged gross misconduct while in office.
The Speaker, Prince Mathew Kolawale while reading a letter of apology written by the suspended Yusuf before the lawmakers which was sent to the house by Governor Yahaya Bello said a committee was set up to look into the allegations levelled against the council boss.
Kolawole noted that the committee recommended that the suspended council boss tender a letter to Okene Local Government, Kogi State Government, and the State House of Assembly with a promise that he would be of good behaviour and ensure the protection of lives and properties in the local government.
Delivering his ruling, the Speaker said the Assembly has nothing against the council boss, adding that he must respect constituted authorities in the state.
“He must ensure that he does everything to promote peace in his Local Government. The house does resolve to lift the suspension of Hon. Abdulrazaq Muhammed Yusuf,” Kolawole added.
