"My appeal against the dissolution of OSIEC was no politically motivated"- OYHA Honorable Asimiyu Alarape representing Atiba State Constituency

NEWS:

 Oyo State House of Assembly Member Honourable Asimiyu Alarape and also the minority leader representing Atiba State Constituency has made his intention known with his appeal against the dissolution of OSIEC as in the spirit of a true indigene of the Oyo State and also as an honourable that had served earlier in the Oyo State Honourable House of Assembly before, who saw to the creation of the LCDA and by the virtue of this he believes in the continuation of any good idea  set by any government since governance is continuum.
 He emphatically argued that since law is super-most in all ramification , the legality of the creation of the additional developmental areas called LCDA through the Oyo State House of Assembly was justifiably done , despite the fact that there was a court case on how to spell out the actual redefinition of the power to the creation of local government, which is still at the ambit of the State Assembly to do, before the notification of the National Assembly, citing a court case of 2002 comprising three adhoc committees from the Oyo State House of Assembly and that of the Federal House of Representative and Senate, but was abandoned because of the inconsistency of the government in power then.
 However, he justified his position on the motion as being good and correct , serving his role as a minority leader in the house , who is a representative and indigene of the Oyo State that has had the privilege to be in the Oyo State House of Assembly before, seeing the creation of LCDA hence would not pray to see what was built to his witness lawfully be destroyed, while he commended the fact that the area of the election for the LCDA could be controversially challenging,
yet appreciated the fact that the deliberation in the honourable house among the honourable members to the dissolution of the OSIEC in conducting election for the LCDA as being democratic, where the majority have had their way and the minority have had their say.

" 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
