I Got Elected by Everyones Vote. Choice of Religion is Free - Fayose

The Grand Imam of the League of Imams and Alfas in Southwest, Edo and Delta, Sheikh Bello, has said Governor Ayodele Fayose’ s Islamic dressing was in obedience to Allah ’s instructions.
.
He added that the dressing was also in line with biblical injunctions.

Bello spoke during the Eid- el - Kabir prayers on Friday , which Governor Fayose had attended.

“The governor’ s dressing was in obedience to Allah ’s instructions.

“This dressing shows that the governor is not discriminating against any religion. Your Excellency , your dressing is even in line with Biblical injunctions, ” Bello noted.

“If you check the book of Zecharias 3 : 3 , the Bible says , ‘ We removed unclean clothes from Joshua, we washed him clean and he was dressed with a clean turban on his head and God’ s angel stood by him. ’

“Our governor, as you wore the turban on your head, the angel of God is already with you and that is why you are succeeding in all that you do , against all odds ,” Bello added.

In response , Fayose said, “I got elected by everyone ’s vote . Choice of religion is free. As a leader, appearing in a Muslim regalia with a turban is to say that I must be part of everything the Muslims do and make then realise that we are all one family.

“I will also ensure that all their demands today are met . ”

Governor Fayose had joined Muslims for the Eid - el- Kabir prayers on Friday, while formally attired in Islamic dress code, complete with a turban and a string of praying beads
