Court nullifies 33 LCDAs created by ex-Governor Akeredolu
The Akure Division of the Ondo High Court on Thursday nullified the 33 Local Government Development Areas (LCDAs) created by then-Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
Delivering judgment, Justice A.O Adebusuoye described the LCDAs as inchoate and not lawfully created.
The court held that it was illegal for a governor to sign a law outside the state.
The court added that the Local Government Creation Law 2023, signed by Mr Akeredolu in Ibadan, outside the state, was unconstitutional, illegal, and null and void.
Mr Akeredolu had, on September 9, 2023, assented to the bill creating 33 LCDAs.
The bill for the creation of the LCDAs was presented to the then-governor by the speaker of the House of Assembly, Oladiji Olamide, during a ceremony at the governor’s residence in Ibadan.
