Edo
State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has sworn-in Imonofi Osumah Inusa as the
Chairman of Etsako West Local Government, after Yakubu Musa, the erstwhile
chairman was removed. Musa was removed
over his alleged involvement in N46 million fraud in the council.
Obaseki,
while swearing-in Osumah at Government House, in Benin City, said that
investigations by a panel constituted by the state government alleged that the
former LG boss, Musa, was engaged in fraudulent activities and lacked the
ability to supervise the staff of the Council.
The governor maintained that his
administration has zero-tolerance for corruption and negligence of duty, noting
that no matter the developmental efforts by the state government, the local
government must perform their duties before the state can be highly rated in
terms of development.
“With
the permission and authorisation of the Edo State House of Assembly (EDHA), we
dropped Yakubu Musa for engaging in corrupt activities. He was dropped based on
the investigation conducted following reports and observations at the monthly
Joint Account Allocation Committee meetings I preside over.”
The National Chairman of the All Progressives
Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, hails from Etsako West LGA.
