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.”
