Bisi Alimi has criticized presidential female presidential aspirant Oby Ezekwesili saying that as a Christian she disagrees with the homosexual and lesbian life choices. Ezekwesili made this statement at Chatham House in the UK. Bisi Alimi, who was present, asked her a question about the discrimination he suffered as a homosexual person in Nigeria.
In reply, Mrs Ezekwesili said she believes in equal rights and opportunities for LGBTQ + people in Nigeria, but who, as a Christian, has disagreed with their way of life. She also got on Twitter to explain her statement after being misrepresented. Bisi, who is an open gay rights activist, criticized her for her stance. He said religion is a choice, but sexuality is not and Mrs. Ezekwesili can not rule a secular state with its religion.
