Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, yesterday lauded Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko for transforming the Sunshine State.
The Minister said this at the inauguration of the state’s residency card initiative, known as Kaadi Igbe-ayo. He noted that Mimiko’s programmes in the last four years were in tandem with the welfare initiatives of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

He said, “During the build-up to the October 20, 2012 governorship election in the state, I wondered how some people, who boasted that they would uproot the Iroko would achieve their ambition by using just brooms.

“I thought they would bring bulldozers and caterpillars to cut down the Iroko in Ondo, but they smashed the deep rooted tree with mere brooms until the Iroko fell on them and smashed their brooms to shreds.”

Maku urged the people of the state to support the Mimiko’s led administration in order to ensure the success of its policies, which would make life meaningful for them.

He challenged Mimiko not to be excited by the commendations that greeted his first term but to deliver more dividends of democracy to the people.
