The Director-General of the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, said popular crossdresser Bobrisky is nothing but a disgrace to Nigeria and should not be allowed to continue with his fake life.
Runsewe who stated this while speaking with correspondents of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja, said Bobrisky should leave the country if he want to continue his way of life.
According to him, Bobrisky had constituted a nuisance to Nigerian and African values and misleading other youths, due to a lack of true African values in him.
He alleged that Bobrisky was going to set up the African Chapter of Gay and LGBT in Nigeria during his recently aborted birthday party with people from over 70 countries coming to attend the event.
Runsewe called on parents to instill African cultures and values in their children and wards, to make them become responsible adults.
“Do you know that the so-called Bobrisky was going to set up the African Chapter of Gay and LGBT or whatever they call it in Nigeria during his recently aborted birthday party? People from over 70 countries arrived in Lagos for the event.
“They were all at Ikoyi, preparing to launch it. We got a hint of it and had to put a stop to the event. I seized all the food and gave them to IDPs. If they had launched that thing, Nigeria would have been destroyed by now.
“That was how the insurgency started and because it was not nipped in the bud, today we are facing the consequences of our inaction then.
“People said the man called Bobrisky is powerful and that anytime he comes to Abuja, he lodges in a presidential suite on the tenth floor of Transcorp Hilton Hotel.
“But I will not stand and see such a character perpetrate a culture that does not conform to our African values and norms.
“If he wants to continue with that way of life, then he should leave Nigeria. Our culture does not allow such personality in our society. So he should leave Nigeria.”
Runsewe reiterated that parents should not allow their children to be influenced by characters like Bobrisky, who claims to be female.
“Bobrisky started by saying he sells body creams and later he went further that he got boobs. He went into many areas. He insults Nigerian women, claiming he is prettier than them. This is not African.
“On his father’s birthday, he dressed like a man. So you can see the deception by a fake personality living a fake life and deceiving Nigerian youths.”
Runsewe said that many organisations had lauded NCAC, including a female group from Kenya for its stand against values that negate African culture and norms.
“That man is destroying Nigerian children. If we are not careful, in the next few years women will no longer have boyfriends or husbands again.
“This is because man to man is becoming the order of the day. In Abuja today, men stand on the streets waiting to be patronised by other men.”
Runsewe said that NCAC and the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs would soon meet to continue deliberations to seek the way forward in sensitizing the public on the menace.
KanyiDaily recalls that Runsewe shutdown Bobrisky’s extravagant birthday party which she/he had been planning for months at The Pearl Gardens, Lekki, Lagos.
Bobrisky lamented on his Instagram page that over N19 million spent on the party had gone down the drain, including what appeared to be a lavish seven-tier cake.
