Following last week’s Supreme Court judgment granting local government autonomy, the 401 chairmen and members of the caretaker committees running the 62 local governments and council development areas in Osun State tendered their resignations on Wednesday.
The Caretaker Chairman of Odo-Otin Local Government Area, Okuku, Adewale Adeyinka, said he quit office out of “respect for our democratic principles.
His resignation letter dated July 17, 2024 was addressed to Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Adeyinka said, It is with a sense of duty and respect for our democratic principles that I write to tender my resignation from my position as Chairman of the Caretaker Committee for Odo-Otin Local Government, effective immediately.
