One week after the inauguration of members of the Consultative Advisory Councils for the 57 local governments and local council development areas in Ogun State, politicians from different political parties disagreed on the rationale behind the move.
While some believe that it was a waste of scarce resources and insensitivity to the plights of the masses, others hold the opinion that it will assist the state in taken government to the grassroots.
For the representatives of the Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, the appointment is not necessary because there are existing local government officials in all the local government and the LCDA’s.
But a member of the Ogun State House of Assembly who is also a member of the All Progressives Congress, Harrison Adeyemi, said those appointed deserved to be part of government at the grassroots level and they were carefully selected based on merit.
