– Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi said that no evidence of any demolished mosque in Rivers state.
The Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum and Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has said after visiting the site that there was no evidence that a building existed on a disputed land in the city.
Fayemi’s statement is coming on the heels of claims that a mosque built on the disputed land was demolished by the Rivers State Government.
He said: “With what I’ve seen, I cannot see any evidence of any building that has been demolished here.”
“If Wike is somebody who wants a place of worship, you should find a way to oblige them. I know within your capacity, it’ll be possible to find a place for them.
“From what I’ve seen here, I think it is a storm in a teacup. There is nothing to warrant this kind of media hype that has been given to it,”Fayemi said.
Governor Wike, who conducted Fayemi around the disputed site, stated: “I want to thank the chairman of my forum for at least coming to see things for himself.

He called me while he was away and I told him, you know that I can’t do something like that and he said okay when he comes back, he is coming to see me and he has fulfilled that promise and that shows leadership, and from what he has seen.
“Assuming that there is even a mosque and that government doesn’t want it at that location, we’ll invite them and say look, we don’t want a mosque there, can we find you an alternative place?
“But there was no mosque. I don’t know why people should make politics out of the issue. It’s not important,” Wike explained.
