The petitioners accused Adedokun of repeatedly disregarding directives from Governor Seyi Makinde since assuming office.

In his place, the Assembly directed the council’s Vice Chairman, Razaq Adeyemi, to assume the role of Acting Chairman, while the council’s Secretary will serve as Acting Vice Chairman pending the outcome of an investigation by the Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters.
