The Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria, on Monday condemned Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State for ordering the demolition of a Jumaat mosque in Port Harcourt.
The council also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to step in “so as to prevent a breakdown of law and order.”
“While we condemn Wike’s desperate wickedness, we also call on all relevant executive and legislative organs of the Federal Government to nip this unnecessary and unwholesome development before it escalates into an avoidable reciprocation, with obvious unpredictable negative consequences,” the council said.
“So, if we adopt similar intolerant and irresponsible action by Governor Wike, only God knows what the negative consequence would be for peace and continued corporate existence of the country.” The council added, “Clearly, he got carried away by the recent declaration of Rivers as a Christian state; therefore, he is trying to show his intolerance of Muslims.”
