Wike and Ganduje
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has replied Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State over threat to take him to court for purportedly demolishing a mosque in Rivers, saying the Kano governor should know that he is not ‘Gandollar’ or a man who enjoyed bribery and falsehood.
Wike said it was baseless for Ganduje to threaten to take him to court when he never demolished any mosque in Rivers State, accusing him of being in the habit of making irresponsible comments about the State.
Ganduje had threatened to take Wike to court over the purported demolition of a mosque in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
A statement issued by Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to Wike on Electronic Media on Sunday, with the heading, “Gandollar: Remember, Governor Wike is Not Dollars,” said Ganduje was yet to realise that Wike is not dollars that he could pocket recklessly and sheepishly.
“Abdulahi Umar Ganduje, a man who enjoys bribery and falsehood, must realise that Governor Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike is not dollars that he pockets with ridiculous abandon. Governor Wike is a lover of the rule of law, due process, religious tolerance and peaceful co-existence. He cannot be intimidated by the illiterate threat of lawsuit from a man of low moral standing.
“Gandollars, sorry, Ganduje is still talking because he thinks that Nigerians have forgotten about his crime against his people.
“I saw a statement released by Abdulahi Umar Ganduje. He said that he will sue Governor Wike over the falsehood that a Mosque was demolished in Port Harcourt. For the umpteenth time, no Mosque was demolished by Governor Wike. No Mosque was demolished by the Rivers State Government.
“The story was a fabrication by one Alhaji Tobacco. The fabrication was orchestrated by Daily Trust and The Nation Newspapers for obvious mischievous political reasons. These baseless press releases confirm the ugly plot. Several journalists and civil society groups have visited the disputed land and no traces of any Mosque were found at the location. Governor Wike personally led journalists to the disputed land and the world saw that no Mosque existed there.
“On Saturday, the Rivers State Islamic Leader/Vice President General, Rivers State Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Nasir Uhor stated that there was no physical structure of a Mosque at the disputed land at Rainbow Town in Port Harcourt. He said the insinuation that any structure was at that location was not true. He also admitted that a Rivers State High Court confirmed that the disputed land belongs to the Rivers State Government.
