The Secretary General of the Interim Management Committee of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria ALGON, Hon. Mohammed Ibukun Abubakar has debunked recent publications made by the Hon. Ategbero led BOT against the IMC
This is following insinuations by the Alabi led faction and Ategbero BOT that the IMC is unknown and does not exist.
Responding in a letter signed on Tuesday and made available to newsmen, Hon. Abubakar, reiterated that the ALGON IMC was never nullified nor dissolved while tagging the BOT leadership as selectively blind lawbreakers.
He said: “Let me reiterate that the Interim Management Committee was set up by the General Assembly in 2019 in furtherance to conducting elections of substantive leadership into the association, this feat which Alabi and Ategbero led BOT has continued to challenge in the judiciary space.
“Alabi and his cronies, has continued in flagrant violation of subsisting court order restraining him and his cronies from parading as leadership of ALGON, carryout activities in that same vein through the backing of Hon. Odunayo Ategbero led BOT. the former is not a member of any of the 774 constitutionally recognized local government areas, and according to the constitution, a person who is just a local council development area chairman, cannot be president of the association. Infact these persons, deceitfully gained the position they currently occupy.
We have overtime, casted a vote of no confidence on the Hon. Ategbero led board of trustees, we are not surprised that they have allowed themselves to be puppet in the hands of Alabi and co. Ategbero led BOT, has continued to thread the path of sabotaging the IMC simply for their selfish interest of enriching the pockets. Their actions show total disregard for the constitutions that binds the association, their nonchalance in creating a solution that would end the crisis, has shown that they are core beneficiaries of it. They have proven to being BOT of propaganda, biasness and greed against the IMC.
“Please note that the matter between the IMC and Alabi led faction is before a court of competent jurisdiction, which brings me to question the claim made in the publication by Ategbero refuting any knowledge of the IMC.”
he added.
