Muslims Support Anti-LGBTl Bill, Call for lifetime jailing of Defaulters

Members of the Muslim Executive Foundation (MEF), have called on parliamentarians to as a matter of urgency make strict laws that could sentence to life imprisonment persons who are found engaging in the same-sex marriage relationship otherwise known as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex (LGBTl) people to serve as a deterrent to others.

The aggrieved members of MEF minced no words when they described the behaviour of LGBTQ activists as swine, saying that persons who engage in the act are senseless even as compared to animals.

Speaking in an interview with Soireenews to wage against the practice of LGBTQ, Chairman of the Muslim Executive Foundation, Mr Musah Abubakar on behalf of the members of the group commended the various parliamentarians pushing for the anti-LGBTQ Bill.

According to him, the plan of those MPs to draft anti-LGBTQ Bill awaiting to be laid before the Parliament for passage into is a course is in the right direction since his outfit believes there is no need to tolerate such "animal behaviours" in the country.

He urged all other parliamentarians to support the course and push for a quick move.

According to the MEF's chairman, those acts such as lesbianism, gay, bisexual, transgender etc are activities totally against "our culture and religions, hence the immediate need to sack them away from the country."

He called on parliamentarians to make stiffer punishment rules for defaulters who go contrary to the bills when it is passed.

 A section of parliamentarians currently pushing for an anti-gay bill has faced series of criticisms with some out of the view that the bill will be abuse on rights of LGBTQ activists.

But reacting to this, the Muslim Executive Foundation members insisted there is no need to tolerate such acts in the country with the notion that it's a human right.

According to the chairman of the foundation, there should be life imprisonment for recalcitrant people who go contrary to the law.

The only punishment he believes will deter people from disobeying the country's constitution.

He emphasized that any parliamentarian who refuses to support this bill should be voted out of parliament in the 2024 general elections.
