[attachment=226]
There was drama at the meeting of Ekiti State Chapter of Local Government Pensioners Association of Nigeria (LOGPAN) on Wednesday when members sacked the executive council led by Chief Julius Adekogba for different offences stated below:
- Adekogba who had been in office for 21 years violated Article 2 (ii) of the union constitution which provides for a term of three years in office which is renewable for another three year term.
- The pensioners also said Adekogba contravened Article 13 (viii) of the constitution by accepting political appointment from Governor Ayo Fayose as a Commissioner in the State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM).
- They also said other members of the exco are equally guilty of the offence by congratulating Adekogba when he was given the appointment with none of them drawing his attention to the alleged constitutional infraction.
- The pensioners accused Adekogba of failing to fight for their interest having been an official of the Fayose administration. They claimed that many of them had died waiting for their monthly pensions and gratuities.
- Adekogba of committing include alleged refusal to render statement of annual income and expenditure for many years, illegal and unauthorized deductions from monthly pension allowances.
- Another reason is for their failure to render stewardship account for many years and failure to provide office accommodation for the body.
Do you think members of Ekiti pensioners are justified for there action?
