GOVERNOR Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State yesterday met behind closed door the 17 commissioner nominees who were confirmed last week by the State House of Assembly ahead of their swearing in today. Dependable source told Vanguard exclusively in Akure that the governor spelt out to the commissioners his zero tolerant for corruption and non-performance.

Vanguard gathered that the governor told the commissioners that all eyes are on the new administration and that he has promised the people of the state that he would deliver to them the dividend of democracy.

The portfolios of the commissioners, it was gathered, would be disclosed to the public today by the governor.

The meeting was attended by the Deputy governor, Alhaji Alli Olanusi, the Party Chairman in the state, Dr Olaiya Oni and other party leaders.

Justice Nelson Adeyanju, the presiding Judge gave the ruling on the interlocutory application brought by the state Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko through his counsel, Mr. John Baiyeshea (SAN). Governor Mimiko had on March 4, 2009 dissolved the Executive and Legislative Arms of all the 18 Local government councils in the state citing impending litigations restraining the former administration of Dr. Olusegun Agagu from conducting the local councils’ election. Adeyanju said the plaintiffs (chairmen and the Councillors) and their agents are also restrained from administer or act in any other form or disrupting all the activities of the 18 local government councils in the state until the case is determined. However, Adeyanju equally restrained the state government and the House of Assembly from nominating or passing the list of caretaker committee members to run the affairs of the local governments pending the determination of the substantive suit. According to him, “In view of the undertaken entered into by the governor, no caretaker committee, nominees should be constituted or persons to run the affairs of the council until the case is determined. Mimiko had asked the court to restrain the chairmen of the local governments from resuming offices as chairmen or doing anything capable of disrupting the smooth running of the local government administration pending the determination of the substantive suit. He supported his application with 12 paragraphs affidavit and predicated his arguments on three main issues with included the legality of the governor’s action, the balance of convenient and the need to maintain the status quo. Baiyeseha said the issue before the court at the interlocutory stage was not to determine the legality or otherwise of the governor’s action but to maintain status quo pending the determination of the substantive suit. According to him, the status quo as at now was that the governor has dissolved the local government and that was reason for the suit, he argued that since the council bosses could not access the council secretariats, the reality of the governor’s action has dawned on them. Baiyeseha said the court should grant the order of interlocutory injunction. He added that section 5 and 7 of the 1999 constitution gave the governor the legal right to tamper with the structures of the third tier of government. According to him, “we have filed a reply to the counter affidavit of the plaintiffs and we rely on the affidavit in support and we want the court to determine whether the chairmen are justified on the legal processes that brought them to office. We also refer your lordship to paragraph 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of our affidavit. “Also, the status quo we are saying is that the dissolution has taken place and the plaintiffs have seized to be in office since March 4, 2009 which they have accepted. The legal right of the governor is based on section 5 (2) and 7 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”, he said. Mimiko’s counsel further stated that there was no evidence that local government workers were instigated by the state government and that there was no place in their affidavit that they have been functioning in their offices since the dissolution of the councils. “My lord, the status quo is that they are out of office but trying to force themselves into the office. And since they have joined issue in the court, they should not have done any extra-judicial activities by forcing themselves in office again”. Otunba Kunle Kalejaye (SAN) counsel to the council chairmen while replying said the order being sought if granted would affect the substantive suit as the application is a verbatim copy of the substantive suit. Kalejaye pointed out that section 2 of the constitution does not give the governor blank cheque to deal with the local governments. He argued that the defendant could not restrain the council bosses from parading themselves as council chairmen unless the governor agreed that they still occupied that position in which they were to be restrained. “Our argument is that the status quo is known to law that is with peaceful state of affairs before the litigation and not unlawfully contravene state of affairs before the litigation. My counter submission is that the constitution did not give the governor a blank arbitrary power to dissolve the councils. The governor under the constitution must act in accordance with the law”, he added. He therefore urged the court to discountenance the interlocutory injunction sought by the governor and should be struck out accordingly. But the counsel to the governor who doubled as the Director of Civil Litigation, Mr Cyril Akinrinsola said the governor would not do anything to overreach the decision of the court. On his honour, Baiyeseha said “my client (Mimiko) would not constitute caretaker committee pending the determinations of the substantive suit. However, in his ruling the Presiding Judge, Justice Adeyanju said the defendant that is Dr Mimiko was right in his application and thereby restrained the council’s bosses from parading as council chairmen pending the determination of the substantive suit. Adeyanju therefore adjourned the case till April 29, 2009 for the hearing of the substantive suit. VANGUARD UPDATE ON THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT DISSOLUTION:

Stop parading yourselves, court tells Ondo LG Chiefs
Written by Dayo Johnson
Thursday, 09 April 2009

AFTER a month of controversies over the dissolution of the 18 councils in Ondo State, an Akure High Court yesterday restrained the Council Chairmen from parading themselves as Chairmen of the councils pending the determination of the suit challenging the dissolution of the councils by the state governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko.
Justice Nelson Adeyanju, the presiding Judge gave the ruling on the interlocutory application brought by the state Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko through his counsel, Mr. John Baiyeshea (SAN).

Governor Mimiko had on March 4, 2009 dissolved the Executive and Legislative Arms of all the 18 Local government councils in the state citing impending litigations restraining the former administration of Dr. Olusegun Agagu from conducting the local councils’ election.

Adeyanju said the plaintiffs (chairmen and the Councillors) and their agents are also restrained from administer or act in any other form or disrupting all the activities of the 18 local government councils in the state until the case is determined.

We however, should not forget that the governor is a politician and so he will have to fill these positions with politicians, as you all know that he did not fight the battle alone. These people were the foot soldiers in their various local governments and before we know it, it will be election time again and he will definitely need them for re-election. I think the area where the governor can have a lee way is in the choosing of his personal staff and advisers which I think he will have the opportunity to fill with people who will man the engine room of the government. We should also not forget that most of the LP politicians are young and will definitely work hard in whatever position they are called to serve to secure their own political future. It is also incumbent on them not to disappoint the people who elect them and stood with them during the titanic battle to reclaim the mandate. I trust the judgement of the Governor and slashing the emoluments of the political office holders by 25% is a step in the right direction.

I know that man worked hard for Nigeria and EFCC under him was a department of strenght and delivery. Donald Duke did so well in his state and Fashola is doing great.

I cherish i so much. I want to say it once again we will appreciate likes of people like you in Nigeria leadership. You are all unique on your own, one way or the other. Please I will appreciate your participation either way - directly or indirectly. I am talking of people with focus. That is our leadership problem in Nigeria. @Omotaylor. Please be sure that I will be much disappointed and not happy if likes of you are not in government. Am not bias about this but your effort can be rewarded one way and to put to action all your contribution regarding the development of Ondo state. I read in paper the ICT coordinator during the Agagu regime-he gave an assessement of what he achived and challenges. Despite he is not a politicial I was he was able to give a steward of his leadership. I was so much to know him better and I discover he was picked from London. That is what am saying we need people in the diaspora that will bring their wealth of experiece to action in Nigeria and not remain overseas. Please I want to say it and I will repeat it again, please we are tied of men that will not deliver. When you loot and deliver it is a different game. Duke did alot for his people that does not mean he did not have some "kick back" one was or the other. Please get my point clear. We have nigerians politician who are after their next ppoilitical ambitions and not the people so the aquire all this money to be used for the develpoment of the nation and leave the people in poverty. We need likes of Okonja, Dora, Nuhu, Babalola-Mister for power, Sam Egwu etc in Ondo state. MY BELOVE GOVERNORS AM SURE THAT ALL WILL BE WELL WITH YOU. PLEASE DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND DONT BE UNDER PRESSURE OF PARTY. "I WILL WORK FOR YOU" God bless Ondo state. @Admin am glad you kept this site going. God bless you real good. @ Fred thanks for your commets and your mature ways of speech. I cherish i so much. I want to say it once again we will appreciate likes of people like you in Nigeria leadership. You are all unique on your own, one way or the other. Please I will appreciate your participation either way – directly or indirectly. I am talking of people with focus. That is our leadership problem in Nigeria.

@Omotaylor. Please be sure that I will be much disappointed and not happy if likes of you are not in government. Am not bias about this but your effort can be rewarded one way and to put to action all your contribution regarding the development of Ondo state. I read in paper the ICT coordinator during the Agagu regime-he gave an assessement of what he achived and challenges. Despite he is not a politicial I was he was able to give a steward of his leadership. I was so much to know him better and I discover he was picked from London. That is what am saying we need people in the diaspora that will bring their wealth of experiece to action in Nigeria and not remain overseas. Please I want to say it and I will repeat it again, please we are tied of men that will not deliver. When you loot and deliver it is a different game. Duke did alot for his people that does not mean he did not have some “kick back” one was or the other. Please get my point clear.
