MAKURDI - Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue state has decried the rising cases of gay activities, urging the Church to lead the campaign against the unholy activity in Nigeria.This came as the state uncovered the existence of a 400 member gay club in Makurdi
Suswam also cautioned parents against abdicating responsibilities of keeping a close tab on their children whom he said were easily being lured into homosexuality.
The Governor spoke yesterday at a special thanksgiving service in honour of the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Governor on Beautification, Dorcas Depuun at St. Mary's Catholic Church, North Bank, Makurdi.
He said , "these things are happening out there, homosexuality is true and it is happening in our society, that is why parents must take more than a passing interest in their children that are of age and are tilting towards fellow the same sex other than the opposite."
Suswam observed that "gay activities and marriage is a mis-norma because every organ has a function and as long as it was used for the purpose other than that for which it was created by God then it's not right because all things created by God are perfect.
"These things are happening out there with our children right here in Makurdi; it is a disease; a hormonal problem", adding that "I get headaches from hearing such issues.
"I urge the church to continue to caution the people especially our upcoming youths against falling into this baneful trap because it connotes evil which is in total negation of the dictates and will of God for man because if same sex were allowed, then the aim of producing children as commanded by God would be defeated. "
Vanguard recalls that few weeks ago, the Benue State Agency for the Control of Aids, BSACA, uncovered the existence of a 400 member gay club in Makurdi the Benue state capital, where members meet to fraternize on a regular basis.
