The governor emphasised that the creation of the LCDAs is one of the legacies of the late former Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, which must be preserved.

He informed the 255 former appointees that their inauguration and assumption of office had been prevented by a court case initiated by the opposition party and subsequent court injunction.

Mr Aiyedatiwa mentioned that efforts were underway to resolve the court case through a political solution, which has been approved by the court.

He further stated that once the case is withdrawn from the court, all errors made in the composition of the list of appointees would be corrected, and transition committees will be inaugurated.
