The Oodua People Congress has advised the Federal Government to relocate the Kwara State capital from Ilorin to a neutral ground that is away from the present location if religious intolerance continues.
The state coordinator of OPC, New Era in Kwara State, Bayo Fabiyi, made this suggestion in a statement as a way to settle the impasse between the Isese adherents and other clerics in Ilorin.
The OPC coordinator explained that there are several areas in the state which include the entire Kwara South, North and some parts of the northern parts of the state where they practice of Isese traditional religion and other religions, as well as Islam without confrontation.
Fabiyi said that while he would advise all Isese people never to fight or kick against the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, as a royal father over all, he also advised that Muslim clerics follow the “deenukum waliya deen” principle of Islam, and allow the Isese people to practise their religion without troubling or causing intrusion into their mode of worship.
