“The cases brought against her have been reviewed and she has been cleared of the allegations, thus her reinstatement. She is to resume office immediately,” Osagie said.He added the reinstatement would provide Ogbemudia the opportunity to continue in repositioning the council in line with the vision of the Governor Obaseki-led administration of efficient management of the councils on the principles of probity and people-driven development.Some council chairmen have been suspended, and those who were found culpable replaced.
