" We cannot build legality on illegality"- OYHA Honourable Member Adeola Bamidele Iseyin/ Itesiwaju.


NEWS:-

 Oyo State House of Assembly Honourable Member Adeola Bamidele representing Iseyin/ Itesiwaju described the act of conducting election for the LCDAs in May 2018 by OSIEC as illegal, since the Local Council Development Area is not recognized officially by the constitution of Nigeria but only for developmental purposes in the State, aside the fact that the Federal Government has not made any provision of financial allocation for it, as the originally official and recognized thirty-three local government in Oyo State.
 He clarified on his statement that though the Honourable House of Assembly is not against the creation of the LCDA which could be done on developmental purpose, but to create an enabling environment that will be sustainable for long the Oyo State government must be cautious to know that only the thirty-three local governments are the recognized ones by the Federal Government and also backed by the constitution of Nigeria, so in order not to create confusion or disparage the stand of stipulation of the law on the status-quo ; it is better OSIEC should have respect the dictate of the constitution, rather than conducting the illegal election for the LCDAs.
 However, the honourable member further stressed that only a change could happened with any state under the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by having the due process being followed, with official letter being filed by the state government, backed by the honourable members of the State of Assembly to the National Assembly for approval , with the President giving assent to it, which without this due process the creation of the LCDA does not make it a legal entity.
 Meanwhile, he reiterated that despite the creation of the LCDAs; a special arrangement will be made between the thirty-three local governments and the LCDAs in the sharing of the allocation that come to the recognized local governments, while emphasis would be laid on the generation of more fund through IGR, with the introduction of laudable projects and programmes that could bring more development to their localities.
 Nevertheless, he vouched on behalf of the Honourable House of Assembly to have advised the Executive for the dissolution of OSIEC and thus nominate people of integrity and objectivity in conducting election for the existing thirty-three local governments in Oyo State, so as to have chairmen being voted in for the management of the thirty three local governments, with administrators being put in the LCDAs along side for the smooth running of the system for the Oyo State Government
