Isese adherents in the Country are asking the Federal Government to establish a council to regulate traditional religion and practice in the country.
Two prominent adherents in Lagos, Secretary, Obatala Agbaye Temple, Ile-Ife, Oladotun Hassan, and Yeye Sewa of Isese, Epe Division, Abimbola Hasan-Lawal made the position when they featured today on Adamimogo 93.1FM’s Public Affairs Programme, The Follow Up.
They argued that such regulation would aid to clarify misconceptions about African religions and improve its acceptability.
Hassan said; “The Government should go beyond just recognizing the (Isese) day but should also create a special religion council that would regulate those practicing this African Traditional religion, Just as we have Council for Christians and Muslims.”
Hasan-Lawal aligned noting, “Just like the other two major religions, I consider it necessary for the establishment of a Council or regulatory body fully funded and supported by the Government.
“This would help interactions and help to expose certain facts not known to some people, clarify some misguided issues and misinformation.”
On the recent controversies surrounding celebration of Isese day in Ilorin, Kwara State, Both adherents urged traditional, community and religious leaders to not only preach but display tolerance as all religions are denominations in service of one God.
