Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has visited a
mosque in the state to inform the worshippers of
his government’s plan to demolish the mosque.
In a tweet on Friday evening, Mr Makinde said he
attended Jumat prayer at Adogba Mosque on Iwo
Road and informed worshippers of his plans to
create a new bus terminal on Iwo Road.
He assured the worshippers that the move was not
an attack on religion, adding that his government
would compensate adequately for the
inconvenience.
“We attended Jumat prayer at Adogba Mosque on
Iwo Road, this afternoon.
“I spoke to our Muslim brothers and sisters about
the proposed demolition of the mosque, a church
and some other buildings by the government, to
make way for the new bus terminal on Iwo Road,”
he wrote.
“I assured them there was no religious colouration
to the proposed demolition and that the government
will relocate all those affected and pay
compensation to ensure they can rebuild.
“I sought their cooperation to enable the
government execute its plans for Iwo Road.”
