Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo
The founder of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, Asari Dokubo, has countered the governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, over demolition of a mosque in the state.
Mr Dokubo said the governor actually demolished the mosque.
Mr Wike came under fire recently for allegedly ordering the demolition of Trans-Amadi Central Mosque in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
The governor immediately denied the allegations, saying it was a hoax as there was no mosque built on the site.
But Mr Dokubo, who described the governor’s action as dastardly in a video circulating on social media, said the governor was lying as there was existing mosque at Trans-Amadi, which Mr Wike demolished.
“I am a member of the congregation of the Trans Amadi Central Mosque. That is where I pray with my family.
“I alone have 21 children, but I live with 59 children of other people. The bulk of them prays.
“Wike claiming that there was no mosque, is a lie. He is lying and you know it, Wike you are lying. If there was no mosque why did you go there? We legally acquired the land for the mosque from Dr Sotonye Amadi.
“The Christian group acquired their own part of the land and built their own churches, but he did not demolish their churches.
“Why did you and your brother, Rotimi Amaechi, singled out our mosque to demolish and to prevent us from building. The person who acquired the land for the mosque, is an Okrika Ijaw man and this land was acquired legally from Chief Dr Edward Sotonye Amadi.
“Why is this mosque a problem to you? The first signatory to this agreement for the transfer of title like I said, was an Okrika Muslim, Alhaji Ali Ibiorika. I was a member of the congregation,” Mr Dokubo added.
Mr Dokubo also countered the governor that Rivers is not a Christian state, saying Muslims are law-abiding citizens in the state.
“Which Rivers Muslim has killed anybody or burnt any church? Which Rivers Christian has been assaulted badly. Name them and bring them so that we can shame them. Islam is bigger than you and there is nothing you can do about it,” he added.
