Mimiko
Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State has charged Muslims in the country to use the period of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration to reflect on their contributions as individuals to Project Nigeria, requesting them and the generality of Nigerians to do more in making the project work.
In an Eid-el-Kabir message issued on his behalf by the State’s Commissioner for Information, Mr. Kayode Akinmade, on Wednesday, the Governor noted that the season called for steadfastness and commitment towards uplifting the nation.
While noting that the nation at this time needed the cooperation of all Nigerians to make things work, he urged all Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of tolerance, love and good neighbourliness among them.
While congratulating Muslims on the Sallah festivities, he noted that it was only by doing this that they would live up to the expectations of God.
Mimiko noted that the current challenges facing the nation, arising from the global economic meltdown, were not insurmountable with collaborative efforts while the people live in peace and harmony and tolerating their differences.
While promising more dividends of democracy for the people of the state, the governor also thanked them for their cooperation and support for government’s programmes.
