Alhaji Umar Farouk Saeed, Head of the Zongo Community in the Ashanti Region, has reiterated the need for religious tolerance to sustain national peace.<\/p>\n

He said it behooves followers of the various religions to be more accommodating and shun acts likely to stoke social unrest and engender hatred.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important we accept to be each other\u2019s keeper\u201d, he said, in a New Year message in Kumasi.<\/p>\n

He denounced recent religious clashes in the northern part of Nigeria, which had claimed innocent lives and led to destruction of property.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cycle of violence going on there is totally uncalled for and we should not be lured into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

It appealed to all Muslims to be responsible in their conduct as the nation prepare towards general election.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should not allow yourselves to be used by any political party to perpetrate violence during the election.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement commended Otumfuo Osei Tutu 11, Asantehene, for embracing all ethnic groups in the region and prayed to Allah to shower His mercies on him.<\/p>\n
