CLERIC ASKS JONATHAN TO SIGN ANTI- GAY BILL INTO

Anglican Catheral Asaba, Delta State, Rev Justin
Mogekwu, has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to
sign into law, the anti-gay bill passed by the National
Assembly.
The cleric made the call, weekend in his sermon at the
Cathedral, during a funeral service for mother of Director-
General of the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal
Studies, NIALS, Prof Epiphany Azinge, SAN, the late Mrs
Angelina Azinge.
Mogekwu condemned same sex marriage, describing
same as evil and a curse from hell.
He said: “Same sex marriage is a curse from hell; it is not
a human right. Imagine what would have happened when
your father wanted to marry your mother and said to his
own father, dad, I have seen the person I want to marry
and he said, ‘fine, bring the person home and let me see
her.’ And then he goes to bring one Isaiah, saying,‘ dad
this is my wife to be.”
The cleric described gay marriage as evil and
wickedness, which must be resisted with the last drop of
our blood.
He berated the US President Barrack Obama, for
advocating same sex marriage, describing it as a next
step to heinous sex perversion.
He warned that if not checked, the next thing will be for
somebody to say: “I want to marry my dog.”
He noted that President Jonathan must not delay in
signing “this wonderful bill” as passed by the National
Assembly into law.
The Senate passed the Anti-Gay bill, recommending 14
years imprisonment for anybody found engaging in gay
activities.
He commended the Senator representing the zone, Dr.
Ifeanyi Okowa for doing a great job in the Senate.
The service was attended by prominent political leaders,
judicial officers and dignitaries from all parts of the
country, including Delta State governor, Dr. Emmanuel
Uduaghan, Senator Chris Ngige, Dr. Joe Nwodo, Dr.
Okwesilieze Nwodo, General Secretary, Nigerian Bar
Association, NBA, Mr Emeka Obegolu and omong others.
