A Nigerian female councilor under
the Labour Party in the United Kingdom, Chika Amadi has been suspended from the
party.
She was suspended over social
media posts branding Pride marchers [homosexual movement] “evil.”
Mrs. Amadi who is also a pastor
and represents London Borough of Harrow, was suspended by the party, after she
made multiple homophobic comments online.
She has referred to Prides as
events for “pedophiles” and threatened people who challenged her remarks.
A Labour party spokesperson said,
“Chika Amadi has been suspended from the Labour Party pending an
investigation.”
Explaining further, the
Spokesperson said, “One Twitter user once pointed out her homophobia and she
responded with: ‘Evil. If you dare walk naked in front of my child God will
give you terrible assignment that will put you to perpetual sleep. Be warned.’”
Also commenting on the incident,
Harrow Council’s leader, Sachin Shah, told the Evening Standard that, “As
Leader of Harrow Council and a proud Harrow resident I absolutely reject and
condemn these abhorrent statements.
“Homophobic views have no place
in our community – which is one of the most diverse and accepting in all of the
UK.
“We stand for equal rights for
all – and I have asked the national Labour Party to deal with this issue
swiftly and decisively.”
