The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has agreed with leaders of the Muslim community not to demolish four mosques built in filling stations in Ado Ekiti.
A petroleum dealer in Ekiti, Alhaji Suleiman Akinbami, built the mosques and donated them to the Muslim community.

The matter was resolved at a meeting held in the Government House in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, with the delegation of the Muslim community led by the President General of the League of Imams and Alfa for South-West, Delta and Edo, Sheikh Jamiu Kewulere Bello.

Also at the meeting were the President of the Supreme Council For Islamic Affairs, Ekiti State, Alhaji Yakubu Sanni, and the Coordinator of the National Council of Muslim Youths Organisations, Ekiti, Mr. Tajudeen Ahmed.

Fayose clarified that there was no political bias in his government’s plan to demolish mosques or churches built inside petrol stations.

He said the mosques marked for demolition were being attended by many Muslim worshippers; a development which he said was very risky in the event of any fire accident.

The governor promised that he would not demolish the mosques if they were used for private worship and not for public use.

Fayose said, “I would have sent security operatives to enforce the order to demolish the mosques but because of the respect I have for you (Sheikh Bello), despite the barrage of insults that some Muslim groups have hauled at me on the Internet and in the papers. Some of them even went to the point of holding rallies and protests and turned the matter to politics, but I kept my cool.
“I would have arrested them because those holding the rallies have overstepped their boundary but we honour you. Please caution those doing that so they don’t rubbish you.

“No one who is in APC can say I have harassed him in the state and I don’t allow any of my people to harass them because I don’t play politics of bitterness.”
Fayose said, henceforth, it was an abomination to build either a mosque or church within the premises of petrol stations.

“Tell our people, our patience does not mean we can’t fight. As for those (mosques) in existence, I will allow them to operate for private use only. No violation of this condition,” he stressed.

The governor said he had been fair to Muslims in his government, adding that his father’s Muslim name was Jimoh.

“If anything is wrong, let us look at it together. If it is for private worship, I can tolerate it but if there is traffic there, I won’t.

“Any mosque built for private use will not be demolished. But when hundreds are going there, the mistake of one man can cause big tragedy for all.
“I am not after anybody; if there is any government that has paid attention to Muslims in this state, I am one. I considered the new Chairman of Ado-Ekiti because he is a Muslim,” Fayose added.

Earlier, Bello, who addressed the governor on behalf of the delegates, said, “We appreciate your immense support for the Muslim community in Ekiti. It was with your support and that of God that we got the position we have as leaders of the community in the South-West, Delta and Edo. Your decision to bring fortunes to all shall be rewarded.

“Though, we were surprised that one of our mosques would be demolished, we know you have a listening ear and there must be a reason for your actions.”

If only Elrufai and Buhari can learn how to douse tension from Fayose. There will be peace everywhere

Ok

"He said that the mosque marked for demolition was being attended by many Muslim worshipers, a development which he said was very risky in the event of any fire accident." Makes some sense, so Gov. Ayo Fayose has brain like this

- Anyway as caring government, he should provide the following.
(1) 2 nos of tankers 5,000litres of water whenever there is public worship at the religious centre
(2) 1 standard fully equipped hospital for treating burns and fire-related incidents close to the religious centre
(3) Ensure there are no sales of petroleum products during the worship time at the religious centre.

But where is lalasticlala sef? Day don break for Ado-Ekiti, South Western part of Nigeria under the control of opposition PDP

So Fayose also feels bad when being insulted? This is the same person that was insulting the president (a man old enough to be his father) almost on daily basis. To him, he would have arrested those protesting because they have "overstepped their boundary". But the same Fayose will shout intolerance if that is coming from the opposition.

Patience and understanding remain the solution to most Nigeria communities.

Would elrufia hv reached dat pact if it wia kaduna?

All this religion extremists sha.. .Building mosques in petrol stations.. What if there's an inferno?,even though I pray there won't be none.. I'm a xtain but I won't like to see Muslim friends die either,no matter the religion differences in belief,we are all humans.Not all Muslims are bad. I have pretty much of them as friends .We have to use common sense sometimes o.. Plenty land dey, why petrol station?..Even noise coming from the speakers can cause Excessive vibration which brings about conduction, radiowaves too dey there. This can't happen in developed countries.. We need to grow.. .Hectares of land plenty fa

I hope the mosques in question will be monitored, so it will exclusively be for private use.

For your mind you make sense abi?

A very good job done by governor Fayose and Muslims in Ekiti state. This is unlike some useless governors whom desperately fight for and against religion rather than providing food and education for their people and bring peace among them. I commend you gov Fayose for the first time in public. Hope other extremist leaders of Nigeria are learning this Common Sense attitude.

Yoruba Muslim can they please use sense for once


if the petrol station goes up in flames they will blame government



prevention is better than cure


both the filing station n mosques self r environmental hazards in form of air n noise pollution

Did Buhari impregnate and abandoned any member of your family? This your generational hatred is leading you to madness.

Fayose the great leader. But dis matter is far from over.

Hope dis people know de meaning of private mosque

What of all these shops being build near petrol station even some shops that have sound system......

Since i was bron till now, i have never heard that a mosques in any petrol station catch fire due to whatever that may be his reasons and it will never happen even after fayosi.
80% of petrol station across the country had mosques and reason was any travellers that happen buy oil during pray time can pray ontime and also the costomers attendance that is a muslim can pray when its time.

Fayosi is just being premitive to gain attention as usual and noting more
