Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN on Tuesday, April 17th, 2018 inaugurated members of the Ondo State Independent Electoral Commission (ODIEC) and members of the Board of the Ondo State Property Development Corporation (OSPDC). They were inaugurated at the Cocoa Conference Hall of the Governor's office, Alagbaka, Akure.

The Governor said his Administration is committed to bringing democratic governance to the people at the grassroot by putting in place elected representatives at the Local Government level.

Arakunrin Akeredolu charged members of the ODIEC to ensure that the next round of elections to be conducted in the 18 Local Government Areas of the State is free, fair and credible.

"It is possible for us to have the leadership of a Local Government belong to a different political party from that of the State. Our political experiences make the possibility appear remote in this clime. It is attainable if we are committed and sincere. "

Akeredolu pointed that the only means through which the current democratic experiment can be deepened is through free, fair and credible local government election.

He said" The local government is guaranteed in section 7 of the 1999 constitution (as amended). It is expected to discharge its mandate to the people in the areas of primary education, health care, recreation and social development."

The Governor also charged the newly inaugurated members of the Ondo State Property Development Corporation to contribute meaningfully to the development of the state, adding that it is time to justify the trust reposed in them by the people and Government of the State.
