Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue state has flayed the proliferation of activities of homosexuals in society just as the Benue State Agency for the Control of Aids (BSACA) uncovered the existence of a 400 member gay club in Makurdi, the state capital.
Suswam, who called on parents to keep close watch on their children as they grow older especially ones that tend to show more than a passing interest in the same sex other than the opposite, tasked the Church to lead the campaign against the unholy activity in Nigeria.
Gov. Suswam made this known on Sunday at a special thanksgiving service in honour of his Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Beautification, Dorcas Depuun at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, North Bank, Makurdi.
According to him, “These things are happening out there, homosexuality is true and it is happening in our society that is why parents must take more than a passing interest in their children that are of age and are tilting towards fellows of the same sex other than the opposite.”
The governor observed that “Gay activities and marriage is a misnomer because every organ has a function and as long as it was used for the purpose other than that for which it was created by God then it’s not right because all things created by God are perfect.
“These things are happening out there with our children right here in Makurdi; it is a disease; a hormonal problem”, adding that “I get headaches from hearing such issues.
“I urge the church to continue to caution the people especially our upcoming youths against falling into this baneful trap because it connotes evil which is in total negation of the dictates and will of God for man because if same sex were allowed, then the aim of producing children as commanded by God would be defeated.”
Hi Mr. Governor, Thanks for your advice to parent. The Mosques, Churches, Traditional Rulers, Schools and State law makers should please pass the Governor message across. May God bless Nigeria.
