Planned Demolistion Of Mosques In Ekiti State By Fayose by fariy2: 11:22pm On Apr 07, 2017 |
7th April, 2017
PRESS RELEASE:
PLANNED DEMOLITION OF MOSQUES:
FAYOSE IS PLAYING WITH FIRE
Four mosques were last week marked for
demolition by the Ayodele Fayose administration
in Ekiti State. The state government claimed that
worshippers could contact cancer from the
radioactive emission from the petrol stations
where the mosques are located.
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) condemns
the attempt to demolish the mosques. It is an act
of aggression against the peace-loving and law-
abiding Muslims of the state. It is primitive,
provocative and sadistic. It is an undisguised
invitation to anarchy.
The state government’s excuse of exposure to
cancer is lame, infantile, laughable and untenable.
What of hundreds of petrol attendants who have
been serving in petrol stations in Ekiti State since
its inception on 1st October 1996? How many of
them have had cases of cancer? How many petrol
attendants in the whole of Nigeria have been
exposed to radioactive emissions? Can the claim
be certified by the World Health Organisation?
Fayose’s public health adviser must be from hell!
But the wind has blown and we have seen the ruff
of the hen. Fayose’s radioactive emission is a
mere cloak for political vendetta. It has since
been revealed that all the four petrol stations
involved belong to Alhaji Suleman Akinbami, a
chieftain of the opposition party.
Fayose has probably forgotten that the end users
of those mosques are the Muslims of Ekiti State
and the petrol dealer cum philanthropist hardly
uses them. It is impossible, at least, for him to
physically worship in all the four mosques
simultaneously. This is where Fayose misfired. He
is invariably targeting Muslims in Ekiti State by
attempting to demolish those mosques but he has
forgotten that anyone who attacks a mosque
anywhere in Nigeria has courted the wrath of
Nigerian Muslims. Ekiti State governor is waging
war against Islam. Fayose has murdered sleep
and he shall sleep no more.
Yet we cannot trust Fayose when it comes to
matters affecting Muslims. He may be killing two
birds with one stone. To put it more succinctly,
by demolishing the four mosques, Fayose hopes
to punish a political opponent and also castigate
Ekiti Muslims whom he hates so much at the
same time.
His antecedents bear vehement testimonies to his
pathological hatred for Muslims and their religion.
It will be recalled that Fayose formed an all-
Christian government after assumption of office in
2015. His deputy governor, secretary to the state
government, all 14 commissioners, all 26
permanent secretaries are Christians.
Using the Ekiti State Independent Electoral
Commission (EKSIEC), Fayose in December 2015
banned Muslim women in hijab from partaking in
the local government elections thereby effectively
disenfranchising a large section of Muslims.
Known for constantly running diarrhea of the
mouth, Fayose accused President Muhammadu
Buhari of Islamising Nigeria just because the
latter visited Saudi Arabia in February 2016. But
he did not see any Christianisation agendum
when his principal, ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan was shuttling between Abuja and Tel
Aviv every fortnight. His open bigotry and
untethered hatred for Muslims makes him the
governor with the worst record of Christian-Musli
m relations in the whole wide world.
Drunk with absolute power which corrupts
absolutely, Fayose has rebuffed the request of
leaders of the Ekiti Muslim community to meet
him over the mosques marked for demolition.
Consequently, the Muslim leaders have suspended
today’s Jum’ah prayer in all the four mosques
affected. Thus Fayose will be remembered as the
Christian dictator and fanatical chief executive
who stopped Muslims of Ekiti State from
worshipping their Creator.
MURIC charges Muslims in the state to repose
their confidence in Allah who is their Supreme
Creator and the Creator of Fayose and other
tyrants of the world. It is decreed that Fayose will
go one day but Almighty Allah will be there
forever. Fayose’s power will melt away one day
like ice cream in the burning desert sun. “All that
is on earth will perish. Only the face of your Lord
will abide forever…” (Glorious Qur’an 55:26 – 27).
Fayose’s power is ephemeral. He will soon
become an ‘ex-this and ex-that’. We urge the
Imams in Ekiti to magnanimously visit Fayose in
Kirikiri after his tenure as governor when he
eventually starts to account for his abuse of
power while in office. We urge Ekiti Muslims to
resist Fayose’s illegal attempt to destroy those
mosques. They must go to court, get a restraining
order and continue to pray there.
Where are those who claim that Christians are
persecuted in the North? The tragedy of the
Nigerian nation lies in the hypocrisy of the elite
class and the collusion of the media in the South-
West axis. The whole world can see how a
Christian governor is persecuting Muslims but
Nigeria’s social critics have maintained an
unusual silence. Where are the Soyinkas and the
Falanas? These people see nothing wrong so long
as it is Christians who are perpetrating evil. Oh
God, what have we done? Fayose, Fayose,
Fayose, how many times did we call you? Why
persecuteth thou Muslims?
Muslims may be left with no option than to make
Ekiti ungovernable for Fayose if he goes ahead to
demolish those mosques. Freedom of worship is
enshrined in Nigeria’s constitution and civil
disobedience is the inalienable right of a
persecuted people. Those who make it impossible
for us to worship freely are guilty of a crime.
Every patriotic citizen has the obligation to
disobey illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional
orders. We will resist this oppression if the system
will do nothing about it.
In conclusion, we call on well-meaning citizens of
Ekiti State to call this ravaging governor to order.
He cannot trample on Allah-Given fundamental
rights of Muslims and expect them to put their
tails between their legs like frightened dogs.
Already, Muslims in the state embarked on a
peaceful demonstration two days ago. We haven’t
seen anything yet. We should do everything
possible to prevent this crisis from snowballing
into a national mayhem. Those who know
Fayose’s first name should call him to order now.

Fayose is doing everything possible to bring development to ekiti state but this primitive people will always find a way to remain in the past and take everyone along with them.. The worse is that their leader is the Fulani sultan.. They will always tilt towards the north more.. Imagine a southern Nigeria without them.. It could have been awesome... |
