Nigerian activist Aisha Yesufu has expressed criticism towards the Kano State Government for its decision to ban movies promoting cross-dressing in the state. The ban, announced by the Executive Secretary of the Kano State Censorship Board, Abba El-Mustapha, also warned against films depicting thuggery, following concerns raised by the public about certain films promoting deviant behavior among youths.
In her reaction, Yesufu pointed out that cross-dressing has been prevalent in Kano even before the emergence of popular cross-dresser Bobrisky. She highlighted the presence of original crossdressers in Kano who do not require surgery to transform, implying that the practice has deep roots in the culture of the state.
“Yes, let’s continue with the hypocrisy and make it a new thing,” she added.
