The court added that the Local Government Creation Law 2023 signed by late Akeredolu in Ibadan, outside the state, was unconstitutional, illegal, null, and void.
Akeredolu had, on September 9, 2023, assented to the bill creating 33 LCDAs in Ondo State.
The bill for the creation of the LCDAs was presented to the late governor by the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Oladiji Olamide, during a ceremony at the deceased’s residence in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
