The office of the National Chief Imam will today officially declare its position on the raging Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex,(LGBTQ+) debate.
Other Islamic Sects and Muslim groups are expected to be present to support the position of Skeikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu.
Earlier, spokesperson for the Chief Imam, Sheikh Arimiyao Shaibu, disclosed that the Chief Imam supports the bill before Parliament seeking to extensively criminalize the activities of the LGBTQ+ community.
According to him, the cleric had specifically congratulated Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, for his stance on the current debate.
“I refer you to the last visit by the Speaker of Parliament, Right Honourable Alban Bagbin, he paid a courtesy call on the Chief Imam. Chief Imam was excited about his coming and he said he had heard his (Bagbin’s) earlier statement about the LGBTQ+ position.
