The Supreme Court has reinstated the former Local Government Chairment in Oyo State.

The chairmen were sacked by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Government in the State led by Engineer Seyi Makinde.

However, inspire of the judgement, the Court refused to grant tenure extension to the chairmen. Their tenure ends on May 12.

The case was instituted by the State chapter of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) led by Prince Ayodeji against the judgement of the Appeal Court which favoured the Seyi Makinde-led administration.

The apex court, in its judgement, noted that the the tenures of the sacked Council chairmen and Councillors have expired but all outstanding salaries and allowances must be paid with immediate effect.
