The Ogun State Chapter of the Freelance and Independent Broadcasters Association of Nigeria ,FIBAN, has constituted a caretaker committee to steer the association pending the conduct of a fresh election .
The association at its congress held on Tuesday, at the Association’s secretariat, Nawar-Ul-Deen in Abeokuta, sacked all the executive members and replaced them with caretaker committee following some crises in the association.
Rising from its Congress, the state chapter of FIBAN said the association has not rebranded, adding that, it remains one all over the country.
The Congress however, named some officers in acting capacity to hold forth pending the conduct of a fresh election.
The Congress approved Comrade Aderoju Ogundiran as Chairman,
Comrade Adedeji Salami as Vice Chairman while Comrade Wale Shokoya was named the Secretary.
Others were Comrade Abolanle Asakpa as Treasurer while Comrade Daud Akanji was made an ex officio.
The FIBAN however warned the public from dealing with former executive members led by Femi Omilani .
The statement read partly, ” the congress was expected to address some fundamental issues which were fallout of the National Election of Our Association which held in Ado Ekiti on 13th January,2023 .
“The congress was therefore called to evaluate his Administration and find a lasting solution to disagreement between some members which was brought about by his immature and naive approach to handling issues.
“Alhaji Kola Popoola, A former Chairman and Presidential aspirant intervened and offered to bring the two parties together.
“The first meeting held on 16th June,2023 at Abule Egba Bar and Lounge and it was scheduled to be concluded today.
“This is to inform the General public that the entire members of Our Association at today’s congress unanimously passed a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in Femi Omilani and subsequently impeached him.
“With his impeachment, he ceases to be The Chairman of FIBAN in Ogun State. Therefore, should he by any means parade himself as such, it will amount to criminal impersonation and it will be met with the full weight of the law.”
