Idris Ahmed Gama, the head of Hisbah’s medical unit in Kano State, passionately advocated for the equal treatment of lesbian, gay, bis*xual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) individuals in Nigeria.
“My first encounter with this situation was very shocking,” Gama began, reflecting on his initial exposure to LGBTQ matters.
“But now, having experienced it again, I realise they are people like me, human beings deserving of respect and dignity,” he continued, highlighting a shift in his understanding.
Gama emphasised the importance of inclusivity, likening LGBTQ individuals to family: “I see them now as my sisters and brothers,” he stated emphatically.
Gama called on lawmakers to review existing laws: “Our legislators must consider amendments to ensure equal rights for all Nigerians, including LGBTQ individuals,” he urged, highlighting the need for legislative reform.
Expressing gratitude to the event organisers, Gama acknowledged Hisbah’s role: “I thank the organisers for allowing me to represent Hisbah, an organisation that understands the importance of inclusivity,” he remarked proudly.
“This is a significant achievement, and I am honored to be part of this advocacy,” he concluded, highlighting the importance of continued efforts towards equality.
