“We all owe you debts of gratitude for your service to this state and to Nigeria.

“Whether we like it or not, you have a track record that I’m not too sure many people can surpass because the early part of your life you have devoted to this state.

“It is not something that is common and I hope I’ll have the opportunity of repeating it.”

He further urged political leaders to emulate the kind of transition ongoing in Ondo State.

Responding, Mimiko promised to continue to offer meaningful advice to the incoming governor at all times.
