Hon. Abdulrazaq Muhammed Yusuf, the suspended Council Head of the Okene Local Government, has been reinstated by the Kogi State House of Assembly.
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, announced that a committee had been formed to look into the accusations made against the head of the council while reading a letter of apology written by the suspended Yusuf to the lawmakers that had been forwarded to the house by Governor Yahaya Bello.
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.
