On Tuesday, the National Council of Muslim Youth Organisation (NACOMYO) have praised President Goodluck Jonathan for signing the anti-gay bill into law.
The National President of the Council Alhaji Kamal’ddin Akintunde, speaking in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, said the organization condemns criticism by the United States and the European Union.
“Nigerians are culturally and religiously sensitive and will not tolerate anything that will undermine their religious values,” Mr. Akintunde said.
“NACOMYO commends President Goodluck Jonathan for that executive action. His action was courageous and in tandem with popular opinion of Nigerians.”
Since the bill passed according to legislative process, it therefore became imperative for the President to assent to it in line with democratic norm.
“Above all, it is against the doctrines of Islam and Christianity, which majority of Nigerians belong to,” the group leader said of homosexual practices. “How can a man marry a man? the National Assembly has done the right thing and the president did what is right by signing it into law.”
It will be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan had on January 13 signed the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act into law, criminalising homosexuality in Nigeria.
