The State of Osun Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has presented a N10 million cheque to the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) for the completion of its secretariat at Owode in Osogbo, the state capital.
Presenting the cheque on behalf of the governor, the Commissioner for Home Affairs, Culture and Tourism, Hon. Sikiru Adetona Ayedun, urged the body to promote unity, harmony and peaceful co-existence with other religious faiths in the state.He noted that some mischief makers were trying to disrupt peace in the state through their campaign of calumny against the Aregbesola administration.The commissioner enjoined the body led by its chairman, Superior Evangelist Abraham Aladeseye, to avoid anything that could cause religious disharmony and rancour with other religious bodies and their members.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Culture and Tourism, Hon. Oladipo Soyode, dispelled the rumour that Aregbesola was planning to Islamise the state. Aladeseye expressed gratitude for the gesture, promising judicious use of the money.
