Over 12 Nigerian governors are gay – Maduagwu reveals
At least, twelve yet-to-be identified Nigerian governors and 40 percent of lawmakers are said to be gay.
According to Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu, who came out to recently to declare his sexual orientation as gay, these people won’t just come out clean.
He shied away from naming the people in his Instagram post.
He slammed the anti-gay law former President Goodluck Jonathan signed in 2014.
The actor called on U.S. President Joe Biden to sanction Nigerian government over the 14-years jail term for homosexuals in Nigeria.
“Dear President Joe Biden. I am proudly gay, and I beg you to place sanctions on Nigerian government for its inhuman laws against law-abiding homosexuals.
“This same government pampers wicked Fulani herdsmen who kidnap and cause trouble in southern part of Nigeria.
“We are tired and scared despite the fact that more than 40% of current legislatures and over twelve governors are homosexuals in naija; why the hypocrisy,” he said.
A person is eligible for the office of Governor if he or she is a citizen of Nigeria by birth, at least 35 years of age, is a member of a political party and is sponsored by that political party. The constitution limits state governors to only two four-year terms in office.
