Oby Ezekwesili Will Fight For The Rights Of Every Nigerian, But She Doesn’t Like The Idea Of Homosexuality

The presidential candidate of Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Oby Ezekwesili says she has no interest in supporting gay values but hopes to uphold the constitutional rights of Nigerians if elected as president in the 2019 elections.

On Monday, December 3, 2018, the ACPN presidential candidate gave a speech at the Chatham House where she seemed to have been misunderstood.

Four days after, Ezekwesili took to her Twitter page to clarify that her religious practice being a Christian does not permit endorsing homosexuality.

“As a Christian who has a strong scriptural anchor, I don’t subscribe to the Gay or Lesbian life choice.”
