Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko has urged the state’s striking workers to join hands with him to find ”a lasting solution” to the challenge confronting the state.
He urged them to return to work in the interest of the people.
Mimiko, who spoke yesterday at the Father’s Day celebration service at the Government House Chapel in Akure, the state capital, said the country and the state were passing through a trying time.
The governor appealed to the people not to give up, but “confront our challenges by reaching out to the depth of our creativity and say how do we move forward”.
Expressing sympathy with the people over the harsh economic climate, Mimiko said his ”heart goes to families that are finding it difficult to feed; families where their children are ill and there is nothing in their pockets to seek medical help, those women that go into labour pain at night and there is nowhere to seek help; my heart goes to everybody that suffers in this land”.
He implored the workers to continue to pray because “after this darkness,a glorious dawn shall come.
Mimiko said the situation at hand did not call for a blame game, stating that “for us, it should not be about excuse giving or blame game, but about how we can confront this monster and reach for our creativity to solve this problem”.
