Governor Wike Suspends Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board Despite Claim Rivers Is Christian State





The Vice President-General of Jamaatu Nasril Islam, (JNI), Alhaji Abubakar Orlu, has explained why Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, suspended the state's Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board.

Alhaji Orlu said it was because of alleged fraudulent activities and the unsatisfactory manner the board was being run.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the JNI chieftain disclosed that some fraudulent persons had in the past hijacked hajj seats in Rivers State to other states.

Last July, Wike had claimed that Rivers was a Christian state. “I heard that some people are angry that I declared Rivers as a Christian State. With what happened on March 9, 2019, it re-emphasized
my conviction that Rivers is a Christian State. Nobody can intimidate me into changing my position.

“I will not disappoint the Church. I will continue to support the Church. When people who think that they are God came, Christians stood firm and showed that Rivers State is a Christian State,” the governor had asserted at a thanksgiving.

Up till now, I'm still wondering why the government still sponsor pilgrims with tax payer money.

The required people don't make it fraudulent and connected people make it. They bribe their way through and still claim they want to visit God.

God will always wonder the kind of people Nigerians are.

Supported....

First of all, it shows Wike has clearly the gratitude of the church and the bishops...and Rivers state as a whole....

God bless



You see why sowore and his newspaper will not in prison...what concert the last paragraph with the actual topic

poor journalism...


Fraudulent activities led to the suspension because is now obvious some hausa fulani goes on pilgrims as Rivers state Indigene.....That is totally unacceptable.....

Asari the shite Muslim ipodian would be down in tears now.


God pass dem

It's at the discretion of the Governor if he wants to sponsor pilgrimage or not, it's not constitutional, as we have had events where Northern states refused to sponsor Christian pilgrimage...

States like Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Kano, Jigawa, Yobe etc and no uproar was heard or fuss made about it.

It will make more sense if states would sponsor her citizens to watch the Champions league final or World cup rather than sending them on pilgrimages that translate to nothing to the economical, moral and spiritual standing of the state.

all greater south states are Christian states. that's just the simple truth and we have no apologies for that.

This man knows the mumu buttons of his people.

Repackaged old news.
