Social Democratic Party (SDP) has described the recent appointment of caretaker chairmen for local government and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) by the Oyo State Government as aberration to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The party in a statement by signed its Publicity Secretary in Oyo state, Alhaji Akeem Azeez pointed out that the appointment of the LG/LCDAs caretaker committee Chairmen was nothing but “illegality taking too far”.
“The recent appointment of caretakers in 57 local government and local council development areas by Oyo state government has been described by the Social Democratic Party in Oyo state as illegality taking too far and aberration to the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria”it said.
SDP emphasized in the statement that the appointment was a clear
“deprivation Of people’s inalienable rights,”saying,
“it is not only ridiculous but also unthinkable to see that the All Progressive Congress who prides itself as the only party who has the interest and concerns of the people at heart will deprive the people their inalienable right to choose their choice of Leader at the grassroots which is consider as closest to the people of the state for almost six years of APC rule in Oyo state”.
The party condemned the elitist style of governance of the ruling party in Oyo which it said can be aptly define as government of the few by the few and for the few “as evidence with the appointment of the children and relatives of the elites which include blood brother of the Governor of Oyo State which is a total departure of worldwide known and accepted definition of Democracy”.
“Their actions and otherwise have not only shown APC as not only anti people and there can never be worse anti masses policies than the one forced on the people of this state by the ruling party. Where is the hope for common Man?.
The party then urged the people of Oyo state “to be wary of politicians who are simply wolfs in cats skin in subsequent elections in the state starting from the much anticipated local Government election in Oyo state”
