DAR ES SALAAM NOVEMBER 29, 2016 (CISA)-President John Magufuli has called on religious leaders to embrace love among one another to foster the nations’ development.

President Magufuli said that religious leaders had played a key role in ensuring that the nation achieves her development agenda and therefore should remain united.
“The religious leaders in their own way have helped our country develop even before our country attained independence. We are very grateful for that,” said President Magufuli.
“Regardless of your religious disparities or political affiliations we all have a duty to support the clerics so that their good intentions in building this nation continue to succeed,” he added.
He was speaking at St Alban’s Anglican Church in Dar es Salaam on Sunday November 26.
