THE PROPOSAL ON OSOPADEC TECHNICAL SCHOOL

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AKOKO DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE Condemns the Government of Hon. Lucky Ayeidatiwa On the Blatant Disregard for the Rule of Law AKOKO DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE is outraged by the decision of the government of Hon. Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa to brazenly disobey the judgment of the Ondo State High Court, that proscribed the 33 LCDAs created by the law hurriedly passed by the Ondo State House of Assembly and endorsed by the late Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN, for been inchoate, unlawful and illegal. The proscription of the law, therefore, asserts that the original 18 LGAs constitutionally recognized remain, in the State. This egregious act of the Government is a blatant assault on the rule of law, the foundation of our democracy, and the principles of justice. The action of the government demonstrates a reckless disregard for the constitutional separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary. By refusing to comply with court orders, the government is undermining the very fabric of our legal system and eroding the trust of the people in public institutions. We, the entire AKOKO people of the Sunshine State, demand that the government immediately respect and comply with the judgment of the court on this matter. We wish to unequivocally state that we are not unaware of the appeal and the application for stay of execution filed by the government, arising from pressures from selfish politicians and enemies of peaceful co-existence of the State. For the informed benefits of the good people of the State, our formidable legal team had on Tuesday, 9th of July 2024 filed a counter motion for the stay of execution. Therefore, the decision of the Ayeidatiwa government to proceed to constitute transition committees for the proscribed LCDAs, without waiting for its stay of execution to be granted nor the appeal entered and determined, amounted to contempt. The government should be cautious of its action. On behalf of respectable elders, leaders, and the good people of Akokoland, we call on all Akoko bonafide sons and daughters who have been politically cajoled and railroaded to be part of the current illegality and have been nominated as members of the LCDAs Transition Committees, to be courageous enough to come forward and reject this illegal appointment just like one of the ruling party-member; Hon. Alexander Funmi Gbologe of Ikale LGA. We call on all citizens of Nigeria, and particularly, indigenes of Ondo State to join us in condemning this attack on the rule of law and demanding that our leaders uphold the constitution and the principles of justice. This remains the only way the peace and tranquility in the State would be preserved and sustained for our progress and development Thank you All.
