As You Go To US, Don’t Listen to Obama On Gay rights, Group Tells Buhari

The Project for Human Development, PHD, a Civil Society
Organisation, today 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 tomorrow in the US. Buhari is expected to be in Washington
DC tomorrow on 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. Continue…

”The U.S. 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 U.S., Mozambique has recently
decriminalized its anti-gay law. At the moment, U.S. 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 US
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.
