Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has stated that he has nothing against Islam.
This he said while showing the chairman of the governor’s forum, Governor Kayode Fayemi, the site where he allegedly demolished a mosque.
Abdulrazaque Bello Barkindo, the NGF’s Head of Media and Public Affairs, stated that Fayemi was in Rivers State to verify the situation.
According to Wike, the site alleged to have had a mosque only had a sewage line.
“I have nothing against Islam or any faith for that matter.
”As you can see there was never a mosque on this ground instead it is a sewage site which has been in contention between the state government and some groups because they want to develop on prohibited land,” he said.
According to the NGF statement, “those who yelled about the demolition were being plain mischievous.”
It said “there was nothing there to show that a mosque ever existed on the site.”
