Breaking the news from around the globe.
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, according to SaharaReporters.
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.
