The Punch had reported that Christian Association of Nigeria,CAN , Ogbomoso and the Chief Imam Ogbomoso held different views on the individual presented to the government as the next Soun.
Prince Laoye explained that the matter which was stylishly pitching the two major religions against each other needed urgent attention from the state government to ensure religious harmony.
” Soun stool is sensitive,and religion should not be left out;but not be used as a setback for the efforts of Laoye Ruling House, kingmakers and the state at large over peaceful installation of the 21st Soun of Ogbomoso land.” The Prince submitted.
