We Will Make Benue State A Living Hell For Homosexuals

Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, has declared
that the state government will not spare anyone
caught in gay activities in the state.
Governor Ortom made the announcement yesterday
at the old banquet hall of the Benue People’s
house in Makurdi during a courtesy call on him by
the Prelate of the Anglican Communion of Nigeria,
Archbishop Nicholas Okoh.
Governor Ortom said gay lifestyle which was being
promoted in the Western world was alien to the
customs, lifestyles, and the belief of Africans and
the church.
He prayed that what he described as a revival
would spring from the state and produce
evangelists that would drive evangelization in
Africa and the Western world, saying the personal
knowledge of the Lord Jesus was the solution to
the decadence sweeping across many nations.
He commended the Anglican Communion in
Nigeria for its stand on gay marriage and pledged
his support.
Governor Ortom reiterated that his administration,
which was anchored on the fear of God would
ensure due process and zero tolerance for
corruption, even as it would entrench core values
that would enhance the socioeconomic wellbeing
of the people.
The Governor assured the Prelate of his readiness
to personally participate in the scheduled
programme of the Anglican Communion taking
place in the state next year and wished them well
in their current conference in Zaki-Biam.
The Prelate of the Anglican Communion,
Archbishop Okoh had appealed to the Governor to
do everything possible to help the church fight
against gay marriage in Nigeria.
He noted that Christians, animists, agnostics, and
Muslims in the Country were united against such
culture. Archbishop Okoh said they were in the Governor’s
office to identify with him and invite him to their
annual programme holding next year in the state
and pledged that the Communion would continue
to pray for the Governor to succeed in the task of
governing the state.
