Project for Human Development, a Civil Society Organisation, on Sunday urged President Mohammadu Buhari not to listen to the US government on issues of gay rights, so as to protect the laws and values of Nigeria.
Speaking at a rally in Lagos, Director-General of PHD, Mr. Jerry Okwuosa, said there're fears by Nigerians that Obama might ask Buhari to decriminalise “the Same Sex Prohibition Law of Nigeria.”
According to him, this is a way for the US to promote gay rights, which is a part of America foreign policy.
”The US 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 US, Mozambique has recently decriminalised its anti-gay law. At the moment, US is putting pressure on Kenya to legalise 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.
