PRESS RELEASE

On this special occasion of the Eid El Kabir, the Concerned Christian Citizens wish to commemorate with the Muslim faithfuls for the celebration of the Salah. May this season bring peace and harmony to our dear nation, especially Oyo State.

Meanwhile, it's not a secret that the Oyo State government through the LG's gave directives for the welfare package for Muslim religious and political leaders in their domains. This went down well with us as this has been the tradition from several past regimes but our concern is the bias we felt when it comes to Christmas season as such generousity is not replicated. Our Christian and political leaders through the LGs do not get such treatment from the State down to the Local Government level.

We therefore implore Governor Seyi Makinde to take cognizance of this and ensure that equity and fairness are displayed for future gestures, particularly for the Christmas Season.

May God continue to bless the government and people of Oyo State.

Signed:

Bisi Sowunmi
