Akeredolu Appoints Igbo Lady LCDA Vice-Chairman in Ondo

November 29, 2023 • 2 min read

Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has appointed an Igbo grassroots politician in Ondo state, Hon Eucharia Nwamara, as vice-chairman of Odigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA).

Nwamara was among the caretaker committee appointed to the newly created 33 LCDAs.

They have been screened and cleared by the state House of Assembly.

Residents of Odigbo had protested the appointment of Nwamara as chairman of the Odigbo LCDA.

According to them, it was wrong for a non-Yorùbá to be the pioneer chairman of the new LCDA.

However, the Peoples Democratic Party in the state said the screening and approval of the caretaker committees violated the 1999 Constitution and the local government system establishment and administration, and other auxiliary matters law of Ondo State 2006.

It said it was unbelievable that those who were supposed to make laws for the state were the same persons breaking the law.

The Director of Media and Publicity of the Ondo PDP, Leye Igbabo, in a press statement, said that the screening of the caretaker committees was null and void.

Igbado said the appointment of the committees was an attempt to derail the local government elections scheduled for February 17, 2024.

He said the plan to derail the local polls was because the Ondo APC was not in a good form to have a good showing at the polls.

“The Ondo state House of Assembly should not make itself a willing agent in the hands of those who are hell-bent on driving the state towards a huge rock.

“This public show of shame must stop for once because the consequences of damaging the very constitution that binds us together are better left unimagined”, Igbado said.
