“Fatshimetrie delivers its verdict on the creation of the LCDAs: unfinished and illegally created”
Recently, Fatshimetrie issued a crucial ruling regarding Local Council Development Areas (LCDA) describing these entities as unfinished and illegally created. This decision highlights the fact that it is illegal for a governor to sign a law outside of the state concerned.
According to the court ruling, the Local Government Establishment Act 2023 signed by the late Akeredolu in Ibadan, outside his state, is found to be unconstitutional, illegal, null and void. This case highlights the importance of respecting legality in political decision-making.
It is noteworthy that on September 9, 2023, Akeredolu had signed into law the bill creating 33 Local Development Councils (LCDAs) in the state. However, Fatshimetrie’s decision calls into question the legality of these actions and highlights the need for governors and politicians to follow established procedures.
This case highlights the importance of respecting constitutional principles and proceeding within the law. Political decisions must be made within the rules established to ensure the legality and legitimacy of government actions.
In conclusion, Fatshimetrie’s decision regarding LCDAs highlights the importance of respecting the law and established procedures when making policy decisions. It is essential that politicians act within the legal framework to ensure the legitimacy of their actions.”
