Kano Govt. debunks rumour on stopping Christians from going to Church on Sundays

The Kano State Government on Saturday
described as false report in some national dailies
and online media that Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje has
banned Christians resident in the state from going
to church on Sundays.

The state Commissioner for Information, Mallam
Muhammad Garba, who made the remark while
briefing newsmen on Saturday in Kano, said the
report was false and unfounded.

“Our attention has been drawn to the rumour
making the round, particularly in the online media,
regarding the restriction of movement of people,
Christians or Muslims to attend places of worship
in the name of a direct policy or under the guise of
any other policy.

“I want to state here categorically that the story is
a complete lie, false and lacks any iota of truth and
substance,’’ he said.
He said that the state government was very much
aware and mindful of the freedom of religion as
enshrined in the constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.

“We in Kano State as a people and a government
cherish and respect our religious differences and
therefore will never introduce any policy that will
be inimical to our peaceful co-existence and
mutual respect,’’ he said.

He then called on journalists to always check facts
and balance their stories and report with high
sense of fairness and responsibility.
Garba said that the government extended the
monthly sanitation exercise up to Sunday but only
for the staff of the Refuse Management Board to
enable them clear up the heap of refuse in the
state.

The commissioner expressed the determination of
the state government to implement people’s
oriented programmes.
He emphasised government’s determination to
develop infrastructure in the state as part of the
initiatives to improve the welfare of the people.

But thats the thing , these 'Medias' dont care about Facts they have only one goal and that is to cause division and tension. Notice how many so called News sites have popped up recently each seemingly serving an agenda (some blatantly obviously and some overtly).
And dont even get me started on the Bloggers that are incredibly stupid with the way they spread falsehood. But then who could blame them, their leaders made their country such a shlthole they ended up unemployed so now they found a way to make money and make destroy their leaders image.
