The Ondo State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) has condemned the appointment of Transition Committee for the thirty-three Local Council Development Areas, (LCDA), describing the step as lawlessness.
This was contained in a statement made available to Starnews NG by the PDP’s Publicity Secretary in the state, Kennedy Ikantu Peretei on Thursday.
According to the statement, “Ondo State Governor, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa in flagrant disrespect for an Ondo State High Court judgement has appointed Transition Committees for 18 Local Government Areas and outlawed 33 Local Council Development Areas.”
The statement reiterated the position of the court on the matter, stressing that “On Thursday, 20th June, 2024, Hon Justice A.O Adebusuoye pronounced the 33 LCDAs created by the Rotimi Akeredolu’s administration as inchoate and unlawfully created. The Court held that the Local Government Creation Law 2023 was unconstitutional, illegal, null and void.
“Therefore, it is the height of lawlessness and impunity for Aiyedatiwa to appoint Committees for LCDAs that are non-existent in the eyes of the law.
“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ondo State Chapter wishes to advise the Governor to respect the laws of the land and stop embarrassing the people of the state with his actions that make us laughing stock in the comity of civilised people, the statement added.
