The group under the auspices of Ikare Solidarity Youth Forum (ISYF) appealed to the state governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, to urgenly remove the council boss. They alleged that the council boss had been spending the council’s funds on frivolities and unnecessary ventures.
According to a statement signed by the Publicity Director of the group, Mr Yusuf Alabi, the entire youths of the council are tired of the failure of the council boss to put in place projects that have direct impact on the lives of the people of the area.
The statement read, “we are tired of the council chairman’s lack of vision to move the council forward. Since he came on board, he has not executed meaningful projects in the council.
“He has been busy awarding juicy contracts to his girlfriends at the detriment of loyal party supporters who are committed to the development of the council.”
The group further accused the council chairman of neglecting the youths of the council without providing job opportunities for them in the council.
The group added, “we are completely disturbed about the chairman’s nonchalant attitude towards the creation of jobs for the teeming youths who live in the community. We are not surprised that the chairman is not sensitive to our plights because he does not stay with the people.
“This is a man who spends most of his time in Akure whereas his people are living in Ikare. Such person will not have good knowledge of the problems the people of the council are facing.”
Alabi urged the anti-graft agencies to beam searchlights into the reckless spending of the council’s boss with a view to making sure that council funds allegedly looted by him are recovered.
