Ondo’s New Governor Makes Bold Move: Caretaker Chairmen Out, Legal Drama Unfolds
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Ondo State has witnessed a dramatic shift in its local government landscape, with Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa stepping in to dissolve caretaker administrations across all 18 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and 33 newly created Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs).

This move, following a court pronouncement, has sent ripples through the state, raising questions about the future of local governance and prompting speculation about the Governor’s intentions.

The saga began with the appointment of caretaker chairmen, meant to oversee local affairs until elections could be held. However, a legal challenge to these appointments cast a cloud of uncertainty over their legitimacy. The court, in its wisdom, ruled in favor of the challenge, effectively suspending the caretaker administrations.

Governor Aiyedatiwa wasted no time in responding to this legal ruling. He swiftly issued a memo, signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, officially dissolving the caretaker committees and directing the Heads of Local Government Administration (HOLGAs) in each council to take charge. This decisive action sent a clear message: the Governor intends to uphold the rule of law and ensure a smooth transition in local leadership.

But the story doesn’t end there. The memo also revealed a disturbing detail: some former caretaker chairmen, despite the court order and the Governor’s directive, were clinging to their positions. This act of defiance raises questions about their motives and commitment to legal processes. The Governor, however, has taken matters into his own hands, instructing the HOLGAs to retrieve all assets and properties belonging to the LGAs/LCDAs from these individuals.

This swift and decisive action by Governor Aiyedatiwa has been met with mixed reactions. Some hail it as a necessary step to uphold the rule of law and pave the way for transparent local elections. Others express concerns about the potential for political instability and the disruption of local services during this transition period.

One thing is certain: Ondo State is at a crossroads. The Governor’s bold move has thrown local politics into disarray and opened the door to a period of uncertainty. Whether this will lead to a stronger, more accountable local government system or further political turmoil remains to be seen.

The coming weeks and months will be crucial as the legal issues are resolved and new leadership takes shape in Ondo’s LGAs and LCDAs. This is a story with far-reaching implications, not just for Ondo but for the future of local governance in Nigeria as a whole. We can only wait and watch as this drama unfolds, hoping that the ultimate outcome will be in the best interests of the people of Ondo State.
