Court of Appeal Ibadan Division has set aside the judgment of Oyo state High Court which restrained the state government from sacking Local government chairmen.
The court based his judgment on the fact that the High Court judgment was based on speculation which could not be taken for cause of action.
The judgment read by Justice Harumna Tsammani said the case was premature with no fact to establish the intention of the state government when the local government chairmen instituted the case last year.
The court therefore was silent on whether the state has power to dissolve the elected local government chairmen or not which was the basis of the judgment of the state High Court which said the state government lacked power to sack them.
The local government chairman in May last year approached the state High Court to restrain the state government from removing them from office, which was granted by the court on the grounds that state government lacked power to remove elected Local Government Chairmen.
