The Ogun State House of Assembly on Friday passed a resolution to suspend all Traditional Rulers appointed in February 2019 till May 28, 2019.
The traditional rulers were appointed by the former Governor of the state, Ibikunle Amosun, against the wishes of the people.
The appointments had led to brouhaha in the state, especially in Aworiland, where there were complaints that non-indigenes were being appointed as traditional rulers.
Also on Friday, the Assembly suspended all Local Council Areas and Local Council Development Areas political appointees.
This, the Assembly said, is to allow for investigation of alleged gross misconduct and misappropriation of public funds against them.
The Assembly ordered that the LGs and LCDAs Chairmen and House Leaders hand over the affairs of the councils to the HOLGA.
They are to appear before the assembly on June 7, 2019.
