HAMZAT CALLS ON RELIGIOUS HOUSES FOR NATIONAL REBIRTH

Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat has stressed the need to make use of religious houses to find a way to change the narrative about the country for the better.

The Deputy Governor gave the admonition today while receiving the 14th Emir of Kano and President-General, JAM’IYYATU ANSARIDEEN TIJANIYYA, His Highness, Khalifa Muhammadu Sanusi II, on a courtesy visit at the Roundhouse, Secretariat-Alausa, Ikeja.

Hamzat emphasised that religion plays a vital role in the lives of most Nigerians and this must be reflected in our daily activities, adding that as citizens we all have a responsibility towards the growth and development of the nation.

Speaking further, he said hopefully, Nigerians can use their religious beliefs to understand that they have a duty towards the country and it is in itself, righteous when they do well for the country which is part of what all the Holy books talk about. He added that as citizens, we just need to make sure that we inculcate and do the right thing for the development of Nigeria and generations yet unborn.

According to Hamzat, “Whether we like it or not religion plays a very vital role in the life of most Nigerians. On Sundays, we all go to churches, on Fridays, we go to the mosque. We must see the effect.

The deputy governor further emphasised the need for religious tolerance as there is no superiority in religion, saying “God himself has made those diversities which is why there are different languages, among others. There is no superiority in the world except that person who does the right thing to fellow human beings and serves God, as we are all equal before God”.
