Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON, has vowed to destroy all malicious actions intended to disrupt the peace of Ondo State.

The Governor spoke during the Ondo State Covenant Renewal Day 2023 prayer session, held at St. David’s Anglican Church, Ijomu Akure.

The prayer session was part of the activities organised to commemorate Nigeria’s 63rd Independence Day.

Represented by his Special Adviser on Union Matters and Special Duties, Mr. Dare Aragbaiye, Governor Akeredolu expressed his unwavering resolve to align his administration with Godly principles.

He also affirmed that his administration is not distracted and will continue to seek divine guidance for the peace, progress, and development of the state.

Speaking on Akeredolu’s behalf, Aragbaiye said: “Our administration is not distracted. What we perceive as distractions from the outside are part of the governance process. The Governor is not distracted. It is part of administering the state.

“Our Governor is back. I want to assure you on his behalf that Ondo State will continue to be peaceful. Any malicious actions intended to disrupt the peace of Ondo State will be dealt with.”

The annual Covenant Renewal Day, initiated in 2008, provides an opportunity to seek God’s favour for the progress of the nation.

Various ministers from different denominations led intercessory prayers for Nigeria, the church, and the youth.

Another series of intercessions was made for Ondo State, the Governor, his team, and the traditional institution.

The prayer session was graced by several dignitaries, including the Head of Service, Pastor Kayode Ogundele; Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Dr. Bunmi Osadahun; a representative of the Chief Judge, and several Permanent Secretaries.
