Ex-Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State has bared his mind on his only regret as governor: “We have recorded successes and also have our own measure of insurmountable challenges among which is the inability to pay salaries as at when due. We have made friends and admirers, we have also attracted detractors.”

“My good people of Ondo State, to everything there is a season, so the holy book says. It is time now for me to go, having enjoyed the unique privilege of serving as your governor these past eight years.”

“By God’s own special grace, I will continue to repay the honour you did me by standing up in your support at all times. I pledge to remain a part of our communities even outside of government. What remains for me is to enjoin you, in the name of God, and for the good of our State, to extend your full support to our incoming Governor, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN.”
