CAN To Buhari: Reject Theresa May’s Satanic Demand On Same-Sex Marriage

President Muhammadu Buhari has been urged by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to not yield British Prime Minister, Theresa May’s demand to legalise same-sex marriage in Nigeria.

May, it would be recalled, had told President Buhari during his recent trip to London, the United Kingdom, that the criminalisation of same-sex marriage has affected millions of people in countries where the laws are effective.

The British PM was quoted as telling the Nigerian President: “Across the world, discriminatory laws made many years ago, continue to affect the lives of many people tens of millions of young people. Criminalising same-sex relations and failing to protect women and girls,” adding that “Nobody should face discrimination or persecution because of who they are or who they love and the UK stands ready to help any Commonwealth member wanting to reform outdated legislation that makes such discrimination possible.”

But rebuffing May’s demand, CAN, in a statement by its President’s Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Pastor Bayo Oladeji, described the demand as satanic.

“If we may remind the British authorities, the same-sex marriage contradicts the position of the Scripture and any human law that contradicts the Bible cannot stand,” said CAN.

“God is the author of marriage and He stated it clearly that it involves a man and a woman. In addition, the Bible states: “A man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh.

“Jesus our Saviour confirmed that marriage should be for male and female. The Bible condemns homosexuality as an immoral and unnatural sin.

“We contend that on no account should our government bow to pressure by making Nigeria capitulate while embracing strange culture that allows barren amorous relationship between same-sex not in tandem with Mother Nature,” said the Christian religious body.
