Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, while declaring open an inter-faith conference in
Lagos, with the theme: ‘Peace, Religious Harmony and Good Governance: Issues
and Challenges’, argued that the insecurity in the nation would reduce
drastically if everyone embraced religious harmony. He condemned the demand by
some christian groups in the state that the next governor should be a Christian,
he asked ‘’do they really believe in
God? It is only God that can insist.
The governor said that religion should not be made as the
yardstick to determine his successor, saying “Good governance means different
things to us. It may mean that there are more religion institutions of one
faith than the other in the state; that maybe good governance for some people.
And for majority, good governance is just food, the ability to get a job and
provision of social amenities. For those people, the faith of the governor is
never their problem.”
