This was made known while contributing to a debate on a bill seeking to prevent, control and manage sickle cell anaemia in the country, on Tuesday, may 12.
Chukwuka Utazi, a People Democratic Party (PDP) senator further stated that some people cannot marry their main choice because of blood group.
According to him
“This bill is taking me down the memory lane because I’m an AS carrier and when I was about getting married, several years ago, I moved into this orbit and I know what I went through because I was in love.
I knew the trauma. After that incident, for five years I didn’t come out of it,”
”
He said.
“So I am speaking from experience and I know how it pains that you have made a choice and you discover that the choice can’t work. Because in Africa, we marry for children, we don’t marry for love.”
