They, however, described the allegation as laughable and unfortunate.

InsideOjodu recalls that Oloro had said the impeachment notice served on him by the councillors was politically-motivated.

But the councillors described the chairman’s response as ‘laughable, unfortunate and begging the issue’.

Council Leader Wasiu Seidu, and five others (Deputy Leader Olatunji Kogbodoku; Majority Leader Olumide Akinade; Chief Whip Gbenga Opebi; Deputy Majority Leader Iyanda Kazeem and Deputy Chief Whip Jemilat Badiru), said Oloro resorted to blackmail by claiming that the action was ‘politically motivated’.

“The chairman only responded to one of the many allegations in our notice, that of the properties acquired illegally. He, however, failed to react to our demand for details of what the funds which accrued to the LCDA since 2017 were spent on.

“We reiterate that the infrastructure development of the council area is not commensurate with funds received since 2017.

“We condemn Oloro’s insinuations that our action was politically-motivated. We stand by the allegations and are ready to provide proof when the need arises if he prefers we go that route again,” Seidu said.

The council chairman, Olumuyiwa Julius Oloro express that the project was solely sponsored and financed by the LCDA.

According to the chairman, he noted that the N250 million project will be use as the administrative office of the council, council’s training and conference rooms, medical centre and other essential departments of the council.

He said, “It will go a long way in easing the stress of the work in the council, as it boasts of spacious and conducive offices of international standard. It will provide an enabling environment that will increases the productivity level of the staff and promote good image of our council.”

Meanwhile, Oloro added that the complex will be completed by December, also noting that the mall will come into fruition in July.

“We are hoping that by December, we ought to have finished it. We have an agreement with the contractors that between now and December, it will be ready,” he said.

The council chairman also stated that the mall, upon completion will be the first ever built by any council chairman in the country.
