As You Go To The United States, Don’t Listen to Obama on Gay Rights – Group Advises Buhari

The Project for Human Development (PHD), a Civil Society Organisation, on sunday urged President Muhammadu Buhari in a rally with the theme “Gay Marriage: Obama, Please Leave Nigeria Alone”, not to listen to president Obama as he visits him on monday (today) in the United State of America. Buhari is expected to be in Washington DC on monday for a four-day official visit where different issues concerning Nigeria will be discussed.

The Director-General of the Group, Jerry Okwuosa, however urged Buhari not to listen to him on gay rights and let the country continue to kick against it.

He said;
“The United States is now the major exporter of gay rights in the world. It has recently pressurised Uganda for a reverse of its anti-gay law.
“Under the influence of the United States, Mozambique has recently decriminalized its anti-gay law. At the moment, United States is putting pressure on Kenya to legalize gay Marriage.
“President Obama is meeting with President Buhari tomorrow to discuss issues which include security, economy, Ebola and gay marriage legalisation in Nigeria.
“Fear is being entertained that Obama might trade off United States assistance to President Buhari’s government with shooting down Goodluck Jonathan’s anti-gay law.
“We are however, urging President Buhari to reject such a trade-off,” – he said.
