Adedayo had recently accused Governor Abiodun of withholding federal government allocations meant for LGAs within the state.
Adedayo's suspension was announced in a letter signed by the leader of the Ijebu-East Legislative Council, Akindele Fasheyi, and the six others.
“The Legislative Council received various allegations that needed to be investigated, and it has directed Mr. Adedayo to appear at its next sitting on September 14,” the councilors said.
Recall that on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, 18 of the 20 local government chairmen in Ogun State visited Abiodun, to plead with him for forgiveness regarding Adedayo’s purported utterances and letter.
