Makinde To Appoint Interim Chairmen For LGAs, Sole Administrators For LCDAs By December |OGBOMOSO INFO|


Barring any last minutes’ change of mind, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde, will by next month make appointments into the chairmanship positions of the 33 local governments (LG) and 35 local council development areas (LCDAs) of Oyo State.
 According to the information obtained by OperaNews, is preparatory to the conduct of  local government elections into the local government areas in the state by march 2020
 The 35 LCDAs in the state which are deemed ‘unknown to the constitution’ are to have appointed council bosses after elections might have been conducted into the 33 LGAs of the state.
Recall that the Governor Makinde had upon taking his oath of office sacked the elected council bosses in an election conducted by the immediate past administration of Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
The disclosure on the plans for the appointment of the caretaker council bosses was made by the Chief of Staff to Governor Makinde, Chief Bisi Ilaka during a media interaction.
According to Ilaka, one of the factors affecting the constitution and announcement of the names of the appointed caretaker council bosses is to give room for all inclusiveness and input from all party stakeholders, including leaders and members.
Although, Ilaka was not specific as the exact time the name of the caretaker council chairmen would be announced, feeler is that the appointment would be made any moment.
He assured that, to the present administration, the sacked council bosses are gone for good in the history of the state, adding that with the overwhelming majority of the party in the State House of Assembly, the party has nothing to fear.
Chief Ilaka added that, the camp of the government is calm and relax as per the much awaited judgement of the country’s apex court on the March 9, 2019 Governorship election, “in which the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won with a landslide margin.”

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

  OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented. He noted that the local government and State Assembly are closer to the people, saying the financial autonomy is essential towards meeting grassroot needs and making the State lawmakers run their legislative duties without hindrances. He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

    By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
