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 .
