THE Coordinato­r General of the Global Initiative for Harmony in Nigeria (GIHN), Elizabeth Omini, is beginning a tour of the South West zone of the country from this weekend.

According to a statement yesterday by the Ogun Command of GIHN, Omini will arrive Abeokuta, the state capital this weekend, where she is scheduled to feature on NTA Abeokuta and Gateway Television, the state-owned television station on Sunday. The GIHN CG would be hosted to a gala night in the evening of same day.

The State Coordinato­r, Bishop Rotimi Adewumi, said Omini was bringing her message of peace and harmony into Ogun and the entire South West region. According to Adewumi, “Omini is an apostle of strengthen­ing national cohesion and at internatio­nal levels in order to transform the society where harmony and brotherhoo­d reign, leading to national and global peace. She maintains that we should not allow sentiments to jeopardise our religious, political, ethnic liberty with the hap- penings around us.

“With all the crisis, violence and criminal activities in our country and even at the global level, the CG formed GIHN to fight this negative attitudes, irrespecti­ve of our religion and beliefs, and this is the message she is bringing to us.”

“The CG urges us all to embrace love and harmony, so that even insurgency and crime will reduce,” Adewumi added.

The coordinato­r expressed appreciati­on to the Federal Government for its support so far, while also commending the present National Assembly members for their thoroughne­ss and patriotism over the enabling bill.

GIHN was founded by Omini on March 30, 2013. In October 2015, Omini, working with the Federal Government sponsored an amendment bill, to provide a framework for the activities of GIHN Corps under the supervisio­n of the DirectorGe­neral of the National Orientatio­n Agency (NOA), which has gone through various readings in both chambers.
