Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has expressed his disgust towards homosexuality in his recent warning sent to individual indulging in the act.
Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has warned gays to stay away from the state, stating that his administration would not spare anyone caught practising homosexuality in the state.
Ortom gave the warning when he hosted the Prelate of the Anglican Communion of Nigeria, Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, in Makurdi, the state capital Tuesday, July 14.
He said: “Gay lifestyle is alien to the customs, lifestyles, and the belief of Africans and the church, even though it is being promoted in the Western world.
“I sincerely pray that a revival would spring from Benue State and produce evangelists that would drive evangelization in Africa and the Western world because the personal knowledge of the Lord Jesus is the solution to the decadence sweeping across many nations today.”
The governor further lauded the Anglican Communion in Nigeria for its stand on gay marriage and reiterated that his administration would entrench core values that would enhance the socio-economic well-being of the people.
