The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, on Friday, issued a statement condemning the declaration by the Primate of Nigeria, Archbishop Henry Ndukuba as homophobic. Primate of Nigeria Archbishop Henry Ndukuba has taken issue with the decision to leave the discretion of dealing with homosexuality matters to individual bishops. For this reason, it has been connected with several Anglican Communion provinces in Africa notably, the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK), Anglican Church of Rwanda, Church of Uganda and Church of Nigeria.
