Ilorin—African Traditional Religion Society of Nigeria has urged the National Assembly to include the administration of traditional oath for elected office holders in the constitution amendment.

Leader of the society, Chief Fatowayu Ayodele, said in a statement yesterday in Ilorin that the National Assembly should consider the country’s “three religions”.

He said while Islamic and Christian practices were used in swearing in elected office holders, the traditional method too should be used.

He said: “We are imploring the National Assembly to include traditional ways and see how successful it would be.

“We want them to test us and see how well it will work to curb corruption and mismanagement of Nigerian funds and property.”

Ayodele called for peace during the 2011 general elections, urging Nigerians to obey the law so that peace could reign during and after the elections.

He urged the citizens to love their fatherland and have its interest at heart rather than nurse their individual interests.
