The Bayelsa State House of Assembly presided over by the speaker; Hon. Nestor Binabo last week passed a resolution by a two third majority to remove the chairman of Kolokuma/Opokuma local government council, Chief Ibikitin Diongoli from Office.
Hon. Ebamoghan Emperor, representing Sagbama constituency 3 who moved the motion against the embattled chairman said the House invoked the relevant sections of the Local Government law of 2006 to remove Diongoli.
The Lawmaker made it clear that the embattled council chairman stays outside the council headquarters and engaged in borrowing money from the banks without due authorization.
Already, the former vice chairman of the local government council chief Ebierein Itubo has been sworn-in as the new chairman of Kolga by Governor Timipre Sylva at the executive chambers.
But there are reports that the lawmakers passed the resolution to sack the embattled council chairman following his alleged roles during the recent National and State Assembly elections which the PDP considered embarrassing.
Ebikitin Diongoli was said to have worked against the interest of the ruling People’s Democratic Party which brought him to power considering the fact that the party lost Kolga constituency I to the Opposition party.
During the PDP primaries in January, the embattled chairman led indigenes of the local government area to protest the outcome of the National and State House of Assembly primaries which produced Warman Ogoriba and Hon.Fini Angaye.
Hon. Warman Ogoriba is the current member of the House of Representatives for Yenagoa/Kolokuma/Opokuma federal constituency who has secured a fresh mandate while Angaye is the deputy speaker the state legislature who has also secured a fresh mandate.
