Following the judgment of an Ondo State High Court which declared the creation of the 33 Local Council Development Areas, LCDAs, as unconstitutional, the state government has stated that it is studying the judgement.
The Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the state, Kayode Ajulo, in a statement on Friday, said the state government would duly analyze the judgement, adding that the rule of law would be followed.
The late former Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu created the LCDAs in 2023.
But in his judgement on Thursday, Justice A.O. Adebusuoye stated that the LCDAs were not lawfully created.
According to Ajulo, the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the judgement has been requested and will be studied accordingly.
“All necessary measures, in accordance with our laws, will be taken to safeguard the interests of our citizens, foster peaceful coexistence, and uphold the rule of law.
“The Honourable Attorney General remains steadfast in his commitment to prioritising the well-being and welfare of our citizens, working tirelessly to ensure that justice and the law are served.”
