Gay Marriage: CAN President Urges Jonathan Not to Bow to External Pressure (Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor,)

Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to with no further delay sign the bill against same sex marriage into law as soon as it gets to him.

Speaking to some selected members of the press, the CAN president said Nigeria must never succumb to the world, adding that “Nigeria cannot be a place for such things.”

“President Jonathan must understand that he was voted by Nigerians,” he said.

“When you are voted into a position, you are voted to do the bidding of the people who voted for you.

“So he must not allow Obama or the British Prime minister to put pressure on him to bend to what they want
“If they want men to be marrying men and adopting children, that is their society, not Nigeria.

“Nigeria is a country that has said no to same sex marriage.

“We are battling with enough problems; let us not complicate things for ourselves.

“Same sex marriage is not for this part of the world; we should not even discuss it,” said the clergyman.
