Ekiti State Government on Saturday
announced the dissolution of the 35 local
government areas including Local Council
Development Areas’ caretaker
administrations.
This was contained in a statement by the
Chief Press Secretary to the State Governor,
Mr Idowu Adelusi, made available to News
Agency of Nigeria in Ado-Ekiti.
According to the statement, all the 35 council
chairmen along with their secretaries and
other members of caretaker committees have
been relieved of their appointments.
It stated that Governor Ayo Fayose had
approved the immediate dissolution of all the
councils.
The statement also ordered the immediate
dissolution of all boards of parastatals,
agencies and commissions.
The 35 local government areas involved were
those of the original 16 and the 19 LCDAs in
the state.
The statement directed all the affected
caretaker chairmen to immediately hand over
to the directors of administration in their
respective council areas.
NAN recalls that caretaker chairmen had
been in control of the 16 council areas
throughout the four year tenure of the
immediate past governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi.
The former governor also appointed caretaker
committees for the 19 newly created LCDAs
few days after the June 21 governorship poll
which he lost.
NAN further recalls that Fayemi’s attempted
to hold council election in the 16 councils on
February 4, 2011, but was halted by the state
High Court ruling following a suit filed by the
Peoples Democratic Party in the state.
The PDP had alleged that some of the
members of the State Independent Electoral
Commission were card-carrying members of
the then ruling Action Congress of Nigeria.
NAN reports that Fayose, at his inaugural
speech on Thursday in Ado Ekiti, vowed not
to recognise any illegal creation made by the
immediate past administration.
