Bishop Urges President Jonathan To Sign Anti-gay Marriage Bill Into Law by Nobody: 9:28pm On Jul 05, 2013
The Rt. Rev. Justus Mogekwu,
Bishop of the Anglican Diocese,
Asaba has appealed to President
Goodluck Jonathan to accent to
the anti gay marriage bill.
Mogekwu made the plea in Asaba
on Friday during the funeral church
service for Mrs Angelina Azinge,
mother of Prof. Epiphany Azinge,
Director General, Nigerian Institute
of Advanced Legal Service.
Mogekwu said that same sex
marriage had nothing to do with
human rights, describing it as a
curse.
He thanked the National Assembly
for insisting that same sex
marriage was evil and for
unanimously kicking against it.
The bishop said the action of the
National Assembly showed that
God wants to save Nigerians.
According to him, the prophesy
contained in the Book of
Revelation, chapter 18, is being
manifested as the world powers
are now sinking in the atrocity of
same sex marriage.
``I want to therefore plead with
the National Assembly to appeal to
the President to sign the anti-gay
marriage bill into law.
``Same sex marriage is evil; we will
survive without the world powers,
the world is coming to an end.”
He lauded the virtues of Mrs
Azinge who died at 89 years as a
fulfilled woman and one who feared
and honoured God.
He urged the family to emulate
their mother’s life style and also
bring up their children in the ways
of God.
Gov. Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta
extolled the virtues of Azinge.
``Mama’s life is a typical study of
human capital development and
there are lessons to learn from
her life.”
He said Azinge excelled in her
business endeavours despite the
fact that she could not conclude
her secondary school education.
The governor said his
administration had put necessary
infrastructure in place to ensure
that every child had good
education.
He urged parents to give valuable
advice and caution their children so
that they would become useful to
the society.
