Governor Aregbesola gave the charge in Osogbo where he was decorated as a patron of an Islamic group called, Nigeria AID group, where he also bagged the first honorary membership award of the group.
Addressing the gathering, the Governor thanked the group for honouring him with the award and used the forum to call on Muslims to demonstrate at all times that, what Islam preaches is love, peace and accommodation.
He emphasized that there is no aspect of Islamic religion which supports promotion of violence and crisis, hence, Muslims must be known for promoting peaceful co-existence.
The Governor therefore enjoined the group to register with ‘O’ Ambulance service of the state so as to be able to work with them to perform part of their duties.
Speaking at the event, the Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Olabomi, who is also the president of the AID group in the State of Osun, noted that the greatest challenge facing the group is mobility, saying that the promise made by the Governor to present them with a bus will go a long way in alleviating their challenges.
The monarch therefore thanked the Governor on behalf of the group for honoring the invitation and assuring of his support for the group.
