Governor of Kogi State, Idris Wada has removed 15 chairmen of local governments from office for defecting to All Progressives Congress (APC) after allegedly being sponsored into office by PDP.
This is contained in a statement issued in Lokoja and signed by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Local Governments and Chieftaincy Affairs, James Adedoyin in Lokoja.
It explained that the sacked chairmen can no longer remain in office having decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) that sponsored them.
The statement warned the sacked council chairmen to stay away from their offices, directing the vice chairmen or the council leaders to take over the affairs of the affected councils as may be appropriate.
The chairmen had defected to APC during the grand finale of its governorship campaign held in Lokoja on November 18.
