Oyetola re-assures on religious tolerance

Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State has restated his promise to run a participatory government that will accommodate the interests of different religious bodies.

Oyetola spoke yesterday during a meeting with officials of Osun State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (OS-CAN) in his office.

He said that his government would be fair to everybody regardless of socio-economic, political and religious background, adding that he would promote religious tolerance and harmony.

Expressing his belief in the efficacy of prayers, the governor urged religious leaders across the state to pray for the success of his administration.

He appealed to them to work with his government to discourage the activities of rumour-mongers and faceless individuals who use the social media and other means to fan the embers of disharmony in the state.
