FCT minister – Nyesom Wike has denied reports alleging that he is against Islam.
This comes after a popular Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi described him as “a satanic person.”
Wike denied the allegation when he received members of the Abuja National Mosque management committee led by the Etsu of Nupe, Yahaya Abubakar on Wednesday, October 18.
“There’s no government, not one that will hesistate not to support the maintenance of our national monument be it Islam, be it Christain because all of us we are in authority. Everyday we say may God help us, if we say may God help us what are the centres of worship of that God you call to help you, if that center of worship is not there how then would you begin to say may God help us.So you also have a role to make sure that centre of worship is still maintained well for the worship of God.
“So let me declare to you here sir, whatever assistance you think which the previous administration or authority has been helping, if we do not surpass it we will continue to do that,” he said.
