A religious leader and founder, One Love Family, Sat Guru Maharaj, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for resisting the pressure mounted on him by United States of America to lure Nigeria to recognize same-sex marriage.
Describing Buhari’s action as a mark of patriotism, Maharaj described same-sex marriage as evil and un-African. He said: “Our President has done well. He deserves kudos for refusing to bow to the dictates of imperialism. What does the United States take us for? Same-sex marriage is an abomination. It is not only uncultural, but also un-African. It is another form of imperialism, but thank God, President Buhari resisted US moves.”
While describing actions being taken so far by Buhari as positive, the religious leader urged Nigerians to support the President’s efforts to reposition the country for greatness. He implored Buhari to sustain the war against corruption and other vices, which he said has hindered Nigeria from realizing its potentialities.
Maharaj added: “Nigeria is destined to be a great nation, but we must be ready to tackle corruption. Henceforth, let public officers be made to swear with local deities like Ogun, Sango, Esu, Sigidi and a host of others, then there will be sanity; public officials no longer respect the Quran and the Bible. Ask them to swear with Ogun the god of iron, or Sango the god of thunder, you see them becoming jittery.”
He urged elected leaders to seek the input of traditional rulers in the day-to-day running of the country’s affairs, adding that they can also add value to governance.
