Offa Local Government Council Chairman, Prince Saheed Popoola, has dissolved his five-member cabinet.

Popoola, in a statement he signed himself, said the exercise is routine and thanked the former cabinet members for their hard work and service to the Offa community and wished them well in their future endeavour.

The dissolved cabinet comprised Secretary to the Local Government and four supervisory councillors in charge of Works, Health, Education and Agric.

Popoola, the only council chairman elected on the platform of ACN, is due to swear in a new cabinet this week.

That emerged as Rafiu Ajakaye, media aide to Kwara ACN Governorship Candidate in the 2011 poll, Mohammed Dele Belgore (SAN), denied the report in some dailies of alleged rift between the party's National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, and Belgore.

Ajakaye said: "The party remains very much intact. Alhaji Lai Mohammed and MDB SAN talk every day on how to move the party forward. But we leave people, as is typical in politics, to speculate all they want. We are not ruling out the possibility of some persons in the ruling PDP sponsoring negative reports for reasons we all know. They can go as far as spreading rumour of non-existent fracas to cause disaffection. But the party remains in tact and the leadership forever cordial. There is no cause for alarm and we urge party faithful to ignore such report. Party re-engineering is going on and the party, we are sure, will emerge stronger."
