No, it's because there was no election..

There was actually an election. Only APC boycotted it.

I think Akeredolu needs to do dat. Mimiko was and will always be a thief. He was Governor for more than 7 years without local govt election, few months to d expiration of his tenure, he now conducted one fake local govt election wen civil servants in d state were almost starved to death. He was suppose to use d money to pay workers salaries. He is a thief, very cunny and a deceiver. So Akeredolu, We are in support of this move. Send them all away.

This is how you spot people that have nothing to offer in office.

A governor's first order of business is to roll out an action plan on how to deliver on campaign promises.

Donald Trump did exactly that on his first day in office.

What concerns this one in Ondo state is how to chase out council chairmen from office.

Watch out; because very soon, we will begin to hear useless complaints about empty treasury, massive corruption and looting by his predecessor.

Nigerians are tired of such gimmicks, so get down to work.

Is English language too difficult for us to comprehend? He approaches the Judiciary to seek interpretation to what he considers an illegality in which PDP contested a "kangaroo" democratic election against PDP and assumed winners were sworn in by PDP. Let the court decide and people should wait for the outcome before condemning the new executive governor. Shalom.

Please keep shut if you have nothing meaningful to say. Who said there wasn't election ? The APC should blame themselves for not fielding candidates.

The Peoples Democratic Party has won all the chairmanship seats in the local government elections in Ondo State.
The election, which witnessed a poor turnout of voters, also saw the ruling party winning 202 of the 203 councillorship seats, leaving one for ACPN.
The major opposition party in the state, APC, did not take part in the elections.
While announcing the results on Sunday, the Chairman of the Ondo Independent Electoral Commission, Olugbenga Ige, refused to name the total number of registered voters and those accredited for the election.

He is obeying the Supreme Court ruling. He is not dismissing them like Mimiko did when he came 2009.

Read again. You will understand where I can coming from. Why have an election when the governor reserves the right to remove local government chairmen and councilors whenever he chooses

he beta not bite more dan he can chew

We (Nigerians) are quick to judge when we are supposed to wait and see as things unfolds. I don't like commenting or arguing on political matters because the players (politicians) know what they want and how to go about it. I have been living in Ondo State over a decade and residents know what's going on there. To those criticizing the Akeredolu for dissolving the old cabinet.... Did Mimiko dissolved the Late Agagu's cabinet? I am sorry to say, why should Mimiko conduct an election few months to his tenure's expiration? Why not conduct it like 2years ago?
If the New Governor feels the way he can achieve positive result in his new administration is to dissolve the old ones....SO BE IT! May God give our leaders wisdin to lead us aright.

I told some APC last year that the greatest mistakes APC will make rewarding the LG A election is by boycotting the election which they did and its difficult to absolved by them now.

If APP has participated in the said election last year they would have won at least 10 LG A in state. But low and behold they boycut the election.

Regarding the Executive you are referring to. What happen yo separation of power.
Federal/state/local government.
State executive is different from of a chairmen and counsellor who are democratically elected.

I dont expect this should be his agenda for now.

He should stabilize his government first.

Well let's see how it all played out.

Time will tell

I can't really figure out the reason why he is doing that,,,,, APC candidate nawaa oooo

There was no election to elect the said chairman and councillors. Not about APC or PDP issues. BtW same thing was done when Iroko became governor, he remove all the chairman and councillor elected under Agagu.

OkoYibo:


Are they LG caretaker Chiarmen or they were just appointed without elections?

Only one party election (PDP). Iroko just put them there, besides LG is an extension of States govt, if all LG chairman re PDP they will work to sabotage the work of the Govn whos is APC

Are you from Ondo state? If you are not, keep quite. Mimiko did thesame thing in 2009 when he came to power. He didn't conduct another election until 2016. None of the chairmen was getting LG allocation under Mimiko, he was Jst giving them salaries just like caretakers. Now they will want get full allocation from the new governor and frustrate his government. Ondo state people never voted for them. infact, there was no campaign. Imagine PDP the couldn't win the state in 2015 general election (APC won some seats in HOA too) won all seats in the LG election. The question is, Why did they approach court before his inauguration if they are not guilty?

I tire o, my brother

Yes they must go with Mimiko who use them as trap to the new government. Mimiko sacked Agagu's council men so what goes around comes around

It is interesting how some would come online to condemn the action of the Governor who has approached the court of higher jurisdiction on this matter if the news item is true. It would then be a confirmation that Ondo State is lucky to have a Governor who knows the constitutionality of the LG and is desirous to follow the rule of law. Did anybody ever wonder why, for over 7 years of governing Ondo State, Mimiko did not conduct the LG Election? Throughout his tenure, until sometimes April 2016 when he had barely 9 months to go, he decided to have an 'arrangee' LG Election which did not follow the due process and which the major opposition, the APC in Ondo State, boycotted and warned to challenge its outcome in the law court if Mimiko went ahead to 'conduct'. Ostensibly Mimiko had wanted to use the platform to 'rig' the election into winning for his 'anointed candidate' @ the Governorship Elction in December 2016. Why should anyone now expect Akeredolu to work with Mimiko's selected Chairmen and Councillors who he imposed even on legitimate PDP members simply because he was the Governor? If the Court of Appeal grants his (the incumbent Governor's) prayer to dissolve the LG, so be it. Ordinary he could have gone ahead with the dissolution (without blinking an eyelid) and the case would forever linger in court had he not meant well for the people of Ondo State. Isn't it on record today that the selected councillors and chairmen are owed several months of salaries and allowances despite that they were his 'chosen' disciples? Did Mimiko not dissolve the Council back in 2009 when he came on board and the case, till tomorrow, lingers in court? Did he not dissolve the ODIEC without recourse to constitutional provisions and the rule of law? Let's see how it plays out at the Court of Appeal and ultimately the Supreme Court. The day of reckoning is @ hand and Mimiko will continue to regret his actions and inactions against the wishes and interests of the good people of Ondo State. Mimiko was selfish and too overwhelmingly garulous in ruling Ondo State despite being a governor in a democratic era. This is the line our focused and purpose driven erudite and law abiding governor does not want to toe. Can you beat his inaugural speech Starting with the foundation of humanity and the ever living father!!! Sure, Aketi is destined for success and no doubt, he shall take our dearly beloved Sunshine State of Ondo to an enviable height. He is determined to redeem the radiating glory which the administration of Mimiko lost especially in his 2nd Term in office. Let's support Aketi all the way and we would be better of for it. Long Live Akeredolu! Long Live Ondo State!! Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!!

let aketi swear if the people of ondo state voted for him and d apc.,nw his starting with rubish,yeye..

Shame on Lawyers and SANs

the 18 local government should remain only in their local government headquarters and not go to small owns in ondo, osun, oyo, kwara, kogi, edo, delta,ogun,ekiti because of the satellite picture.

government can not come to small community to resolve issue.. this small community can build their own schools themself .. using their 100 obaship local government authority ..

this way they have 118 local government.. in ondo state.. and nobody is fighting anyone..

i dont see any reason to argue over the satellite picture. since there is what is call obaship local government authority.. state dont have the money to repair your schools but the community can help repair the schools..

the over 100 obaship local government authority with the army as staff of those obaship local government authority. and you have 18 local government for those who want to contest election.. that way.. since people can resolve the satellite picture crisis.. that way, it look like they have more local government than northerners.

so that we all have peace...
picture of rwanda, is a reminder.. to avoid issue and small communities fighting.

I knew it would get to this and I have told many especially my people back home to expect this tornado.
