Former Governor of Kano state, Ibrahim Shekarau, has condemned in a strong terms Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike over demolishing of Rainbow Town Central Mosque located at the Trans-Amadi Area of Port Harcourt.

Shekarau in a statement signed by his media aide, Sule Ya’u Sule, said Nigeria belongs to all, and no state in Nigeria could claim to be mono religious, lamenting that “it only takes a responsible leadership to carry everybody along.”

The former governor, who is now Senator representing Kano central, said Governor Wike’s action was a pointer to him being induced by other than rationale brain waves, as no leader in his right senses would contemplate stoking such embers of discord in a country so religiously, ethnically and regionally charged as Nigeria.

He said, “Wike’s claim that Rivers is a Christian State is pathological. It suggests that not only are the people of Rivers State 100 per cent Christians, but Muslims and adherents of other religions from other parts of Nigeria cannot make Rivers State their home. It also insinuates that Rivers State operates a government, a constitution of its own, different from the Nigerian Nation.”

“It means Rivers State does not recognize or protect the interests of people like Alabo Mujahid Dokubo Asari, Alhaji Isa Boaima, Alhaji Sani Okiri, Alhaji Ahmed Sani Pe, Alhaji Abdul’aziz Pepple, Alhaji Suleiman Akani, Alhaji Ibrahim Orlu, Alhaji Musa Brown, Chief Hassan Douglas and Alhaji Mustapha Wakama who are all Muslims and productive citizens of Rivers State.”

Shekarau pointed out that this was not the first time Wike would show his reckless side in utterances and actions, recalling that last year, he threatened his own Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) hierarchy that they either hold the party’s convention in Port Harcourt or, as he vowed, risk his destroying the party.

"All rationale and conscious citizens of this great country,
Nigeria should join in condemning the Rivers State Governor,
Nyesom Wike for recklessly demolishing the Rainbow Town
Mosque located at the Trans-Amadi Area of Port
Harcourt, and for irresponsibly declaring Rivers State a
“Christian State,”

It
also insinuates that Rivers State operates a government, a
constitution of its own, different from the Nigerian Nation

Let's stop being tribalist and judgemental

No matter your religion or your tribe.

We are ONE Nigeria

Unlike him, other Christians are fair-headed and
peace loving.

APCHaram:
This idiot that campaigned on introducing Sharia law for Kano when running for Governor which he will later do when he was elected.

As I said their problem is not one useless mosque but Wike's declaration of Rivers as a Christian State.

Wike has told them by that statement that their jihadist plans can never succeed in Rivers and that is why they are hyperventilating.

Khan2013:

just imagine for a second ganduje saying kano state is an islamic state and then demolishing a church after,
what do you think will happen?

aolawale025:
Why can't people mind their business
Rivers can be a Christian state. The senator himself is from a Muslim state

fiizznation:
Rivers state is NOT a christian state or anything relating to that, there are indigenous Rivers Muslims even though they maybe in the minority class. Governor wike shouldn't cross his boundary. Man have like how many years before his tenure expires? Why demolished a place of worship of Muslims just because of the very little power you have? And stupid people like wike are always the first idiots to accuse northerners of intolerance.

There are many churches in the north that are built were they aren't supposed to build them, but NO northern governor has ever demolished any of the churches. Many churches in the north usually cause a lot of traffic on Sundays, but nobody is demolishing them. What about the noise pollution that these numerous churches usually cause? I know people like wike will want to act all brave and damn the consequences of their actions,
but only a foolish dog will challenge the lion to a fight just because the hyena promises to be by his side. A word they say is enough for the wise.


And those silly hypocrites that called themselves CAN will never condemn this, but they are always quick to accused buhari of islamization agenda.

Kano State is one big Emirate.
Do you know what an Emirate is?
An Emirate is an exclusively Muslim society governed by Sharia law under a Muslim leader, Emir.

Kano State operates Sharia law. Do your know what Sharia law is?

Kano State falls under the Sokoto Caliphate.

What is a Caliphate! A caliphate is an Islamic State ruled by A Caliph.

Stop spewing trash. Kano is a fundamentalist Islamic state.

APCHaram:


El Rufai ordered all traditional stools in southern kaduna to convert to Emirs and their kingdoms turned to Emirates or lose state recognition.

Most did not comply and El Rufai appointed Fulani Emirs and elevated the foreign Fulani Muslim Amir above every other chieftain and declared them under the Fulani Amir.

Khan2013:

1-kano state is not governed by sharia law
2-kano state doesn't operate sharia law
3-Sokoto Chaliphate no longer exist
STOP BEING DELUDED.

Rivers is Christian!

If you don't like that fact then you are free to join your Boko brothers and come and change that fact down here in Rivers.

I assure you, you will end up as fish food in the Atlantic alongside your koran

Khan2013:

but did he said kaduna is an islamic state?
or did he destroy their place of worship?
beside can you please give me link to the story.

fiizznation:
Rivers state is NOT and can never ever BE a christian state!!! You can only call Rivers state a christian state on the pages of newspapers and maybe social media, but you can NEVER implement it.

Kano State that has Sharia courts, Hisbah Brigade is the one you are saying doesn't operate Sharia?

You said the Sokoto Caliphate has seized to exist, you are really a naive deluded fool.

The Sultan of Sokoto is the only traditional ruler that has constitutional recognition and backing.
The Sultan is the supreme head of the constitutional recognised and govt funded Supreme Islamic Council.

The Sultan also doubles as permanent head of all traditional rulers across Nigeria.

Why is it that the supreme head of Muslims in Nigeria is also the head of all traditional rulers?

Keep deceiving yourself

Khan2013:

it seems you don't even know what a caliphate or sharia law means.
it will be nice if you can put out sentiment in your judgements, you may as well go back to school while you're at it.

We will demolish every single mosque in not only Rivers but the entire better South.

We know your mosques are your barracks and armoury.

Rivers is Christian and if you like you can burn down all the churches in your god fore saking region.

APCHaram:


See this almajiri calling some one uneducated.

What is Sharia law? Where and when is it applicable?

Do they have Sharia law and Emirs in Iceland?

Get out of here with your weak taqiyya
