The correspondence, titled “Request for Investigation into Letter from Creative Africa Initiative Regarding Same-Sex Marriage Debate,” emphasized the need for a thorough investigation. It highlighted that the topic contradicts predominant cultural and religious beliefs and violates Nigerian laws.

The letter from the Permanent Secretary stated: “We bring to your attention a matter of urgent national concern. An organization, Creative Africa Initiative, has issued a letter, not from the Federal Ministry of Education, proposing a debate on the topic: ‘Should Same-Sex Marriage Be Legalized in Nigeria?’

“Given the sensitivity of this issue, which opposes the cultural and religious values of the majority of Nigerians and breaches existing laws, this initiative could cause widespread confusion and potentially incite unrest.

“Introducing such a debate into public discourse might disrupt public peace and social cohesion, and could be seen as a deliberate attempt to undermine Nigerian laws and destabilize societal norms, leading to unnecessary tension and division.

“We request that the Department of State Services (DSS) investigate the origins and intentions behind this letter from Creative Africa Initiative. It is vital to scrutinize and address activities that could incite discord to maintain national peace and stability.

“We trust that your esteemed office will handle this matter with the seriousness it warrants and take appropriate measures to safeguard our nation’s stability.
