Why I won’t scrap Lagos  LCDAs – PDP governorship candidate

Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran (also known as Jandor), the PDP candidate for governor of Lagos State, claims that if elected in 2023, he will keep the 37 undeveloped Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the state.

In order to further bring the government closer to Lagos citizens, Adediran told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos that he would even expand the number.

He stated that it would not be wise to cancel the LCDAs.

He thinks it's past time to regularise the 37 LCDAs.

“The party (APC) has the presidency, the majority in the National Assembly and the majority in the state assembly,” he told NAN.

He said that eight years after their creation was enough for the regularisation of the LCDAs created by the administration of Chief Bola Tinubu.

The governorship candidate said that he would do his best to ensure the regularisation of the local councils if elected governor.

“We need them (LCDAs) to bring government closer to the people.

“We don’t have any problem with them (LCDAs). If possible, we will create more,” he said.

Adediran said that he would ensure that the LCDAs would be used to bring dividends of democracy to the grassroots.

He said that his administration would not only empower the council to perform their roles but would also monitor them for the people to get the dividends of democracy the LCDAs were expected to provide at the grassroots.
