Wale Adedayo: Challenging the hegemony of governors over local governments

Wale Adedayo, the suspended chairman of Ijebu East Local Council is a long distance runner, and in the moment, he may have to continue to bear the loneliness of a long distance runner, no thanks to his colleagues ( fellow local government chairmen in the state), who have left him in the lurch after accusing the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun of diverting the local governments funds in the state.

On August 31, Adedayo shelled the governor in volley of bullets of accusations over diversion of funds meant for local governments. But hours after the opening of the Pandora box, other local government chairmen in the state issued a denial , and what could pass as a rebuttal to Adedayo’s.
