“You visit here in an indication of your recognition in the positive role that religion can play to unite our people. This has become the overriding objective of this state government.

“The Primate is aware of the history of violence and religious intolerance in this state. Our study of the situation over 40 decades has shown that the main drivers of this violence are a few clerics that use their platform not to preach peaceful co-existence but use their revered position to divide and incite violence,” he said.
