The Oyo State House of Assembly has announced the suspension of Olusola Oluokun, Chairman of Oyo East Local Government after he publicly pledged his allegiance to Governor Seyi Makinde’s political ally, Senator Monsurat Aduke Sunmonu.
His suspension was pronounced on Thursday after the presentation of a Matter of Urgent Public Importance titled “Urgent Call For Full Investigation into the indecent attitude of the Chairman, Oyo East Local Government, Mr. Olusola Oluokun in a viral video online.”
Oluokun’s actions in the video were deemed unbecoming of an elected Local Government Chairman.
The House has therefore set up a committee to investigate the matter, pending which the Vice Chairman will act as Chairman.
The suspended council chairman, in a viral video, had thanked Senator Monsurat for her support in making him the local government chairman.
In the video, Oluokun was seen partially unclothed, eating while praising Aduke Sunmonu and cursing her enemies.
A source had informed us that Aduke Sunmonu allegedly served as a “godmother” to the Oyo State Governor Makinde.
The source had stated, “This is one of the reasons public officials don’t serve public interests, but rather the interests of themselves and those who put them in positions against popular wishes.”
The video had showed Oluokun eating half-naked and praising a political stalwart who helped him become chairman.
Oluokun said, “Who doesn’t know Aduke? Which lunatics don’t know Aduke? Anyone who doesn’t know Aduke will never truly know anyone until they depart this world.”
He continued, “Aduke, my helper, my benefactor. She appointed me as local government chairman and brought me abroad. If the world still exists and God is still on His throne, she will never witness sorrow in her life.”
“I’m grateful; my entire family is thankful to you. Love you, big mummy, love you deeply. I remain loyal till my last breath,” he said.
“Who among the foolish does not know Aduke? Who among the unfortunate does not know Aduke? They will soon realise,” he proclaimed.
“Aduke has done a great work, a good woman to the core, a true motherly figure. I’ve never seen this kind of motherhood in my life; nothing will harm your soul,” he added.
“You will continue to prosper; you and your children will never experience setbacks. They have already excelled and will continue to meet helpers until the end of time.”
“My Creator will indeed bless you for what you have done for me because I don’t know what else to say,” he added.
