Coalition of Northern Youth Groups has denied the alleged demolition of a mosque in Port-Harcourt, capitals of Rivers state allegedly on the order of Governor Nyesom Wike.
Convener of the coalition, Comrade Mohammed Sanni, said: “We have observed with patriotic disenchantment the worrisome trend of some politicians capitalizing on falsehood to fan the furnace of ethnic, religious or regional division, just for self- serving and fiendish gains, while endangering the collective goodwill and peace.
“On further interaction, with residents and the Muslim community in the area, we gathered that, the said location being labeled as a mosque building belongs to an individual who was building his personal structure without government approval. “Judging from this, rationality should only dictate that, if the property owner has/had any issue of contention, the courts were and are still open to address his grievances rather than resorting to inflaming the polity with tense religious passions.”
“We have also seen the gusto with which political horse traders and religious alarmists have taken the matter and have therefore deemed it of prime importance to address our youth throughout the North and also those residents in Port Harcourt to remain calm and maintain the peace as we are still in wide consultations.
