Gana advises NASS on passage of bill to stop same sex marriage


From Nigeria-

A former Minister of Information and National Orientation, Professor Jerry Gana, on Tuesday, called on the National Assembly to quickly pass a bill forbidding same sex marriage describing the act as ungodly and immoral.

Gana, who stated this in Abuja while delivering a lecture entitled: “Moral issues within the divine commonwealth: Family, Business and Politics,” at the maiden Divine Commonwealth Conference organised by the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion, called on church leaders to support the legislators in passing the bill into law.

He noted that same sex marriage was a threat to the civil society stating that if such act was not stopped, it could make God to forsake Nigeria.

The former minister called on christians to continue to shine the light of God through their ways of life so that darkness would disappear from the nation.

He added that for Nigeria to be a better place, good governance should be promoted and a government that can provide basic social amenities should be put in place.

Earlier, the Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, The Most Reverend Nicholas Okoh, called on christians in Nigeria to see themselves as one and defend their common faith adding that they should earnestly be involved in the search and promotion of the well being of the world around them.
