Dr. Sani Rijiyan Lemu, a popular Islamic scholar, from Northern Nigeria has expressed his anger over the recently signed SAMOA deal by Bola Tinubu.
In a video of his Friday sermon seen by SaharaReporters on Sunday, the cleric accused the Nigerian government under Bola Tinubu of plotting to allow the practice of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) in the country.
Sani said the country would be into a mess if LGBTQ is allowed and it will in turn berate the government for reportedly moving towards that direction despite creating economic hardship for the masses.
In his words, “Oh people of God, I want us all to believe that the present situation that Nigeria is in must be a great lesson to all of us. We (Nigeria) must strive hard to correct ourselves. God is watching us and our deeds and He will never put on those who are doing good into shame.
“The most painful thing is the present condition that Nigerians are in, the high cost of living, hikes in food prices and others.
“It is in this present situation of hunger and hardship that Nigeria announced that it has signed an LGBTQ+ agreement.

He continued, “We are suffering from many things that our leaders brought to us and they went ahead to sign another agreement that will further push the masses and the country into a mess.
“There is no doubt LGBTQ+ is a big disaster that is more than another challenge that Nigeria is in presently.
“The country is battling with banditry, kidnapping for ransom and others already and it is sad that the elected leaders that use their hands to sign the LGBTQ+ agreement are against the will and teachings of Allah.
“Anyone who has the privilege to speak against the so-called LGBTQ+ agreement should please stand up and speak because our leaders want to bring to us a very big disaster and they also want to join the fight with our creator that we can’t withstand,” he pleaded.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian government earlier dismissed a report claiming that the Samoa partnership agreement signed on June 28 has endorsed the rights of Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ) people in Nigeria.
It also rejected the claims that Nigeria would receive $150 billion for entering into the deal.
