Malomo said: “The commitment of this government is to ensure there is religious freedom in the nation, no matter how hard it is. We are committed to that cause and must do all that is possible to get that done.

“It’s unfortunate that the religion which is supposed to help all of us live in harmony has become source of division for us. We must collectively resist that and support those things, religious or otherwise, that strengthens our peaceful co-existence.”

He added that the perception that policies and programmes of Buhari’s administration escalated religious crisis in some parts of Nigeria was wrong and should be corrected through mass advocacy in religious and social places.

Former chairman, Nigeria Human Right Commission (NHRC), Chidi Odinkalu, who was the guest speaker, expressed worry that faith is being politicised in Nigeria.

He said freedom of worship, which is one of the constitutional rights of an individual, is not easily ascertained in some parts of the country because most of the killings are politically and religiously motivated.

Recall that Legit.ng reported that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and his wife, Dolapo Osinbajo attended an interdenominational service of praise and thanksgiving at their hometown, Ikenne in Ogun state.

The service, held at Obafemi Awolowo Square, Ikenne, commenced with a praise and worship session with songs rendered by Buki Bekes while Osinbajo and Dolapo swayed harmoniously.

Addressing the congregation, Osinbajo said it was God’s mercy that made him and his crew come out unhurt from the crashed helicopter.

A helicopter carrying Yemi and his entourage had crashlanded in Kabba, Kogi, on February 2. The vice president rendered his favorite Yoruba song ‘Oke Oke la nlo’ and some other songs while the congregation sang along.
