He expressed optimism that the new year would witness the actualization of visions and miracles for the state.
“Ten years ago we were talking about vision 2020, now the year 2020 itself is here. Have we achieved all that we planned for? Have we achieved all that we prayed for? have we achieved all that we wanted when we started vision 2010 ? Of course, our God is a God of planning; He is not an accidental God and that is why we also must plan and put in prayers for the work that we want to do because what God says is that we should work and pray.”
“God did not just say pray and pray. I know that we are ready, we are determined to work in a manner that would make tangible difference in the lives of all our people so that we would have cause to celebrate his blessings in our midst and to demonstrate that we are indeed His children who have seen favour in the eyes of God,” he said.
While praying God to make the year that of peace and prosperity, the governor urged Ekiti people to shun any misguided utterances that could cause disaffection and division; adding that “if we have prosperity without peace, all will be naught”.
