Chairman of Owo Local Government Area of Ondo state, Tope Omolayo has revealed that his refusal to give the councilors 30 percent of project fund led to disagreement with them.
Omolayo who denied report of his suspension, described it as baseless and mere online propaganda, stated that he has not received any official communication regarding his alleged suspension.
“I didn’t receive any letter from them. We didn’t even argue. We were in the same programme yesterday. I remain in full control of the council.
He attributed the report of his suspension to elements of destruction seeking to destabilize the local government.
Omolayo also addressed reports that some councilors were unhappy with his administration, insisting that the complaints were largely financially- motivated.
“All they wanted was for me to give them money. When they gave me project money, they said I should give them 30 percent. I said no,” he alleged.
The council boss emphasized his commitment to peace and service, describing himself as a man of peace. “I am a man of peace. That is why the whole world loves me. Ask anybody,” urging verification of the allegations from traditional rulers.
Omolayo reiterated that he is still the executive chairman of the local government, dismissing the suspension reports as “online kangaroo announcements.
“As far as we are concerned, nothing is happening. I am not impeached. I am not suspended. Nothing is happening,” he added
