In a bid to prevent religious crisis over the selection of soun stool in Ogbomoso, Laoye Ruling House,on Thursday appealed to Oyo State Governor Engr Seyi Makinde to address differences between religious leaders in the area over Selection and installation of the new Soun of Ogbomoso land.
The Mogaji of Laoye Ruling House,Prince Amos Olawole Laoye who made the plea in a chat with journalists, said the issue of exchanging words between two religious organizations needs urgent attention of state government to ensure religious tolerance in the area and the state in general.
Prince Olawole Laoye disclosed that Soun stool is sensitive,and religion should not be left out but not be used as setback for the efforts of Laoye Ruling House, kingmakers and the state at large over peaceful installation of the 21st Soun of Ogbomoso land.
According to him,all hands must be on deck to ensure peaceful coexistence in the area and the state in general,as peace and tranquility are antidotes of development and progress.
He,therefore sought for divine intervention on the process, calling on faithful irresponsible of religious and tribe differences to embrace mutual understanding and engage in fervent prayers to benefit all.
