Gov. Obaseki Reinstates LG Chairperson Suspended For Alleged Misappropriation

The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has lifted the suspension on the Chairperson of Egor Local Government Area, Eghe Ogbemudia.

Governor Obaseki revealed the development in a statement released through his Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie.

Ogbemudia’s suspension was lifted after an investigative panel cleared her of the accusations that led to her suspension.

The Governor’s aide noted that the LG Chairman was suspended after several petitions were written against her by officials of the council, alleging financial misappropriation and abuse of power.

“The cases brought against her have been reviewed and she has been cleared of the allegations, thus her reinstatement.”

“She is to resume office immediately”.
