Majority Leader of the House, Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi moved a motion for the passage of the bill into law and was seconded by Christopher Ogunlana .
The Speaker, Olamide Oladiji commended Governor Odunayo Akeredolu for the creation of the new LCDAs.
Oladiji thanked members for taking their time to attend to the all important bill before it was passed into law.
The Speaker expressed optimism that all noticeable observations and recommendations by the House will be effected as appropriate.
He appealed to the people of Ondo State to keep hope alive and eschew acts that could generate undue rancour which can jeopardise the reigning peace in the state.
” Let me appeal to the good people of Ondo State to please keep their hope alive as current position of the House is not an end in itself but a means to a positive end.”
The passage of the LCDAs Bill into law, brings to 51 the total number of Local Councils in Ondo state.
