Council Boss Shobowale Dragged To Lagos Assembly Over Alleged Long Absence From Work
She faces accusations of negligence and incompetence, as articulated in a petition submitted by concerned citizens and stakeholders of the LCDA
The Chairman of the Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Bola Shobowale, has been “dragged” to the Lagos State House of Assembly due to allegations of prolonged absences from work. Stakeholders claim her absences are hindering progress in the area.
She faces accusations of negligence and incompetence, as articulated in a petition submitted by concerned citizens and stakeholders of the LCDA to the Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa. They argue that her actions have severely impacted local governance and development.
Shobowale is reportedly battling a medical condition that has created a significant void in the administration of the LCDA. Furthermore, she is accused of failing to follow the necessary chain of command for effective operations within the council.
Development initiatives have stalled due to her health struggles and her continued hold on power, according to the petitioners. Read More
The situation reportedly deteriorated after a recent incident where she collapsed during one of her rare appearances at the council headquarters.
Following the collapse, she was taken away from the office and has not been seen since, even when the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), the highest decision-making body of the All Progressives Congress, sent an assessment team led by former Deputy Governor Femi Pedro to the LCDA on Wednesday, October 25, 2024.
