The National Assembly Won’t Contemplate Allowing Gay Marriage Now Or Ever – Doguwa

Member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa has come out to say that Joe Biden can’t force nations across the world to accept Gay marriage.

The federal lawmakers, Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa who is the majority leader of the House and Hon. Benjamin Kalu, the House Spokesman recently revealed this while reacting to the threats of sanctions issued by the President of the United States of America, Joe Biden on the refusal of countries to enact laws that will accommodate the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI) people across the world.

According to Doguwa, gay marriage was against the culture of the Nigerian people, and such laws will not even be contemplated by the national assembly, now or in the near future.

He added that such law will not even work in the country because Nigeria, as an institution, respects the peculiarities of its own setting.

His words, “It will definitely not work here. It can’t work in Nigeria because as an institution, we must respect the peculiarities of our own setting here. This is Nigeria. This is not America. This is not England. This is Nigeria where we must have to respect some of our traditions. We must also respect some of our religious bodies.”

“We have Christians, we have Muslims and I thank God that both Christianity and Islam which are the two major religions are all against the disposition of such kind of legislation. I don’t think that in the near future that the Nigerian legislature as an institution will entertain anything like gay here in country.”

“We will not entertain that and it is going to be blasphemous if we can begin to consider such laws. It is against our culture and against basically the provision of the two major religions. I don’t we will begin to contemplate that. It is obnoxious as far as I am concerned.”

“Sanctions? There are limits to sanctions. They can continue to sanction as long as we know that what we are doing is right within the context of our culture, our religions, within the context of our Institutional expectations. I don’t think that we can be threatened by anything. Sanction or no sanction, we will only stand by what we think is right within the context of our own institutional existence.”
