New Appointee In Ondo Rejects Choice As Vice Chairman Of LCDA

By Ayodele Oni

Citing irreconcilable differences between two communities, a political appointee in Ondo State has rejected his appointment as vice chairman of a Local Council Development Authority (LCDA).

Maxwell Omosuwa from Uso community which form part of the newly created Uso/ Emure-Ile LCDA, said in his rejection letter to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu that his community deserves the Headquarter of the new Council.

He also said that since his community lost out in the citing of the headquarter, its indigenes deserve the Chairmanship position and not Vice.

His letter reads ‘It’s my pleasure to sincerely appreciate His Excellency, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, the Governor of Ondo State for finding me worthy of appointment.

“The nomination was highly appreciated considering the teeming members of our party who worked assidously for the success of our party in every poll.

“However, I want to reject the appointment to douse the tension of acrimony between my town, USO and Emure-Ile.

“Ever since Uso-Emure-Ile LCDA was created and headquarter was sited at Emure-Ile, it was expected that the first Chairman should go to USO but reverse is the case and people of my community are seriously angry with this decision, therefore, it will be wrong of me to take the position of vice chairman to my community.

“Meanwhile, I was a Vice chairman to the whole Owo LGA in just concluded local government administration which I diligently served the local government with all my capacity.

“On a final note, I cannot but appreciate Mr. Governor and other leaders who deemed it fit to bestowed upon me Vice-chairmanship appointment for the second time.”
