Resist any attempt to divide Oyo residents along religious line – Makinde begs Muslim leaders
Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has enjoined leaders of the Muslim community in the state to resist any attempt to divide the people of the state along religious lines.
Makinde made this appeal while hosting some leaders of the Muslim community in the state on Tuesday.
The governor, while addressing the gathering, advised the Muslim leaders to resist any attempt by individuals or groups to divide the people of the state along religious lines.
He added that there are individuals who would profit from such division.
He used the opportunity to appeal to anyone intending to use religion to divide the people of the state to have a rethink.
Makinde, while speaking further, commended the Muslim community in the state for what he described as their immense support for his administration.
The governor, speaking on the recent stampede that occurred at Islamic High School, Bashorun, Ibadan, assured the public that the law would take its due course to prevent future occurrences.
He maintained that justice would be served to avoid a recurrence.
“I will keep saying it: if people want to divide us along religious or political lines, we as leaders must resist that attempt and expose them.
“So, I want to say that it is our state; some have come and gone, and I will go too. Whatever we do for our state is what the successor will meet and continue from there.
“I am begging you that we should resist their attempts because there are people who will profit from our division. But if we don’t allow division, they will go elsewhere.
“So, I want to use this opportunity to say that if there are certain people using the issue to play politics, they should have a rethink and constantly stay on the side of the law.”
