They threatened to commence legal action against the government and House of Assembly over their alleged suspension, if not reinstated.
Following the resolution of the assembly, the state government froze all LGs’ and LCDAs’ bank accounts. Ubani said: “The decision to freeze the LG/LCDA bank accounts and their suspension before the expiration of their tenure, based on purported petitions which they were not given an opportunity to respond to is a gross violation of their constitutionally guaranteed fundamental right to fair hearing, and hence cannot stand.
“On behalf of our clients, we demand their immediate reinstatement and payment of all their entitlements for the past 33 months, which they have been denied, as stated above be computed and paid to them with effect from October 10, 2016, when they were duly sworn into office as LG and LCDA chairmen till October 10, 2019 when they are expected to leave office.
