Governor Mimiko.
Ondo State Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko has declared a 3-day of fasting and Prayer in the state following the death of officials of the state in the Thursday morning ill-fated plane crash which had the body of the former Governor of the state, Dr Olusegun Agagu and 20 others on board. In a state broadcast yesterday evening, Dr Mimiko said the Associated Airline plane crash that happened on Thursday morning in Lagos has further thrown the state into sadness and mourning adding that certainly”this is trying time in the history of our beloved state”.
He said, ”we have declared 3 Days of fasting and prayers in the state, commencing , Saturday 5th of October, 2013.” He thus asked all the people of the state, to use the opportunity to pray and reflect on the sad realities of the death of the departed and also find time to ask God for mercy and favour for the State. In an emotional laden voice, Dr Mimiko voiced that “we surely, never bargained for this. Yet, all power and knowledge belongs to God as human wisdom and knowledge is foolishness before God” He thus prayed that “ the souls of our fallen brothers and sisters rest in perfect peace even as we pray for God’s protection and guidance of our people in the State and in the Diaspora”
