Osun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), governorship hopeful, Omooba Dotun Babayemi on Friday advocated religious harmony and tolerance among adherents.
Omoba Babayemi who made the call in his Easter message to Christians at this year’s Easter celebration, said lack of religious harmony and tolerance would continue to breed conflicts which could be creating more security challenges in the country.
In the Easter message issued by his Media Office, the PDP governorship hopeful emphasized the need for more cooperation among faithful of different religions.
“Regardless of where one belongs to; whether Christianity, Islam or any other religion,we remain brothers and sisters.As the creations of the Almighty,we remain congenially bonded,” he said.
Omoba Babayemi added, ” we all have the latitude to believe in any faith we so desire without any friction”
Advising that the import of Easter’s lessons must not be lost.
Omooba Babayemi said virtues such as selflessness, sacrifice and humility, must be imbibed for the sake of humanity, saying, ” if we can all imbibe these virtues,then our problems as a people, will be considerably ameliorated.We were never created for ourselves alone, rather we are spared and preserved for the good of others”
Omooba Babayemi then implored Christians and adherents of other religions to continue to pray for the successful outcome of the coming gubernatorial election in the state, particularly for the victory of the PDP at the polls.
