Social critic, commentator and the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese,
Bishop Matthew Kukah, has commended President Jonathan for the express
signing into law of the anti-gay bill that could criminalize all types
of same sex relationships in Nigeria. He expressed his approval
and delight with the signing into law at a media roundtable held in
Sokoto State. He also expressed his gratitude to the National Assembly
for expediting action on the bill. The bishop said;
"I also want to commend the National Assembly for the zeal and
enthusiasm with which they passed the bill. As far as I am concerned, anybody who
lives in Nigeria and most parts of Africa knows that culturally,
religiously and morally, this is not our life and culture".
