Ban on same-sex marriage, a respect for Nigerians---- North East CAN

By -
(Nigeria) The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, North-East zone, has described President Goodluck Jonathan’s assent to the same sex marriage prohibition law, as a demonstration of his respect for the will of Nigerians.
The Chairman of CAN in the zone, Rev. Shuaibu Byel, told News Agency of Nigeria in Bauchi State on Wednesday that the President deserved commendation on the matter.
``The President acted on the will of Nigerians; it is our decision and our choice, and we must commend him for respecting the decision, in spite of the on-going criticism by the international community.  This is a clear indication that democracy has come to stay in this country, where the will of the majority counts,’’ he said.
Byel described the same sex marriage as evil, demonic and anti-God.
According to him, signing the anti-gay law will go a long way in saving the country from the health and moral implications of same sex marriage.
``We needed a leader that will show us the right way and I am glad that President Jonathan became that leader when he signed the same sex marriage prohibition bill.’’ he added.
The clergy man advised those who engaged in such act, to have a rethink, adding; ``it is a condemnable act and those who did it were condemned. The Bible tells us that Sodom and Gomorrah, engaged in such act and were condemned to ashes.’’
He called on the general public to support government at all levels, to ensure a free and just society where the voice of the people counts.
