Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Jelili Sulaiman, the embattled Chairman, Alimosho Local Government Council, has notified the Lagos Government that his suspension by the State Assembly is subjudice and should not be carried out.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued by his lawyer, Dr Abdul Mahmud, Levite Solicitors and Arbitrators, he urged the state to adhere to due process and respect the judiciary.<\/p>\n

In the statement made available to newsmen by the lawyer on Thursday in Abuja, he contended that there is a pending case on the issue before the Federal High Court, Abuja.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe write to draw the attention of the general public to the letter, written by Mrs Kikelomo Bolarinwa, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Local Government, Chieftancy Affairs and Rural Development, Lagos State, dated 8th October, 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe letter, addressed to Mr. Akinpelu Johnson, Vice Chairman, Alimosho Local Government Area, directed him to assume office as Acting Chairman pursuant to the unconstitutional resolution of the Lagos State House of Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe note that the Permanent Secretary also issued a subsequent letter on the same day instructing Mr. Johnson to await further directive from the Executive Governor of Lagos State,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The lawyer added: \u201cWe wish to respectfully remind the Permanent Secretary that the purported suspension of our client, Mr. Jelili Sulaiman, and all actions related thereto are subjudice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe matter is currently pending before the Federal High Court in; Jelili Sulaimon & Anor v Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly & 5 Others.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, any further action regarding the implementation of the unconstitutional resolution would be in violation of the rule of law and an infringement on the ongoing judicial process\u201d.<\/p>\n

He advised the Permanent Secretary to desist from any further action concerning the purported suspension of Sulaimon.<\/p>\n
