The Onigegewura Akile Ijebu, Aremo Tunde Oladunjoye, on Monday, charged the newly inaugurated cabinet members of the Ijebu East Local Government Area of Ogun State on the need to accord the council chairman and his office the due respect.
Oladunjoye said the chairman as the overall boss of the council deserved to be respected by all the other officials since the buck stops at his table.
The Onigegewura Akile Ijebu gave this charge in his brief remarks during the inauguration of the council’s cabinet members, including Supervisors and Special Advisers to the Chairman, Dr Kehinde Oluwadamilare.
Oladunjoye, who is also a former chairman of the Ijebu East Local Government Area and current State Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, reminded the new LG cabinet members not to get carried away by their former relationships with the council chairman to fall short of giving him his due respect and regard as the one in charge of the entire local government administration.
Oladunjoye congratulated the new council cabinet members and wished them, alongside the LG chairman and vice chairman, a successful tenure signposted by “positive accomplishments.”
The full text of Oladunjoye’s brief remarks reads as follows:
I write to congratulate all the local government cabinet members who were inaugurated earlier today?
I wish you a successful tenure of office. May your era be marked by positive accomplishment along with your Chairman and Vice Chairman.
Let me remind you , for the avoidance of doubt, that the Chairman of the Council remains the *number one citizen* of the local government, the boss and the only person with the green pen in the Council. Please accord all due respect to his person and to his office.
Regardless of your former relationship with him, age, political experience or even knowing him when he was growing up, the fact is that he remains the boss, the leader and the head of the administration .
Again, I wish you the very best today and always .
Congratulations .
Happily yours,
Aremo Tunde Oladunjoye
Onigegewura Akile Ijebu
