Bakitta Bello, Matthew Ofosile, and Lawal Rogbitan, said the judgment of the court represented the true position of law and the aspiration of the people of the four local governments of Akoko.<\/p>\n<p>According to them, they noticed the lopsidedness in the recommendation from the Executive Council to the State House of Assembly for the creation of the 33 LCDAs, in July 2023, and made representation to the Government in letters addressed to the Governor and the Attorney General to correct the injustice meted to individual Local Government Areas and the entire Akoko land.<\/p>\n<p>They said there was no adjustment made to the error pointed to the Executive Council before it forwarded its recommendation to the Ondo State House of Assembly for legislation.<\/p>\n<p>They said \u201cGiven the protest at the House of Assembly by aggrieved citizens across the State, the House of Assembly adjusted her time-table which was designed to pass the bill in one sitting, to accommodate a hurriedly arranged public hearing on the bill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepresentatives of Local Governments in Akoko presented memoranda at the hearing which was backed up with adequate records and data to assist the House arrive at equitable decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor instance, Akoko South West which was the largest Local Government Area in the State with 15 wards and two state constituencies had only one LCDA carved out of it while Ose Local Government Area, with one state constituency, had one too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d In the overall consideration, the Owo ethnic group with originally two Local Government Areas was subdivided into eight LCDAs while Akoko was originally four Local Government Areas was subdivided into nine LCDAs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that both ethnic divisions make up the Ondo North Senatorial district made the arrangement sinister.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the veracity of the data presented before the House of Assembly to prove the lopsidedness of the LCDA creation, the House went ahead to pass the flawed bill into Law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had no choice as law-abiding citizens of Ondo State, but to approach the Court for redress. Moreso, the bill was signed into Law on the 9th of September, 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The leaders said they are grateful that the outcome of the case has vindicated their decision to approach the law court for adjudication.<\/p>\n<p>They said \u201cThe Court did not only make informed declarations that support our position, it granted sufficient reliefs to safeguard the aspirations of the Akoko people and indeed, other ethnic groups in Ondo State to coexist with one another in a peaceful environment conducive for even and sustainable development in our political, social, religious and economic life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do not take for granted that justice will come to us on a platter of gold. We are, therefore resolute and determined, to always fight for it, no matter the obstacles that may come and the quarter from which they may emerge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that the outcome of this process will serve as a guide to the Government and the people of our Sunshine State in the handling of our public affairs in the future, beginning from now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should understand and implement our statutes for the good of all, without fear or favour, and focus, at all times, on fairness, equity, and justice to build, jointly, the egalitarian society that we deserve.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaders of the four local governments in Akokoland, had approached the court to challenge the creation of the LCDAs in the area, alleging marginalisation of the area An Ondo State High Court on Thursday declared the creation of the 33 Local Government Development Areas (LCDAs) in the state as unconstitutional and illegal.
