Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State has stated that there is need for people of his state and Nigerians in general to move closer to God as the 2015 general elections inches closer.

The Governor reiterated that God’s intervention and guidance is inevitable, considering the fact that many desperate politicians are on the prowl in the nook and cranny of the polity. Also, he urged workers in the state to strive harder and devise innovative means of generating more revenue to enable government sustain its social services.

“We must in the year 2014 look inward to further generate revenue that will drive some of our social services, which the people of the state now consider as their entitlement, and that is the whole idea of establishing government programs that the people will take ownership of.

“For us to sustain this, we must look inward and generate revenue to drive our programs. It is important for us to re dedicate ourselves to service; everybody that is employed must know that it’s a special privilege and you have the responsibilities to show God that you appreciate His grace in your life. When you give service to man, you are giving service to God,” he appealed.
