Ondo Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Olukayode Ajulo, in a statement, said all necessary measures, in accordance with the laws, would be taken to safeguard the interests of the citizens and foster peaceful coexistence.
He said he remained steadfast in his commitment to prioritizing the well-being and welfare of Ondo citizens.
An Ondo High Court had on Thursday declared the creation of the 33 LCDAs as unconditional and illegal.
Justice Adegboyega Adebusoye, who delivered the judgment, said the creation of the LCDAs were inchoate, null and void, unconstitutional, and illegal.
He said the former administration did not comply with sections seven and eight of the 1999 constitution.
Justice Adebusoye upheld that there were no equitable distribution of the council areas among the 18 local governments saying that it was illegal for the late former governor to sign a law outside the state.
