Nigerian President Muhammed Buhari Rejects Issues Concerning Gay Marriage

The president of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari has once again repelled the push towards the issue of legalising the gay right in Nigeria. This time the proposal was from the American president Mr Barack Obama on his visit to America.

President Buhari rejected this advice with the words that "the act of homophobism is against the culture of his people they forbid it and as such, it is immoral". A Nigerian news-man Femi Adesina who went on this trip with the president reported that the president made the whole matter short and didn't want to give hope of any future considerations and just went point blank with his words.

Femi released this information on his twitter page on Monday according to him " the issue of gay marriage was discussed during President Buhari’s meeting in the US but he rejected the offer when brought forward, stating that sodomy is not acceptable in Nigeria".


On further clarifications, Mr. Adesina said that the issue was not brought up in a direct talk with the US president but during a joint session of senate and the house committees on international affairs. The matter was not pushed further and was shifted aside once PMB made his point. It was never brought up again.

He said "The gay right marriage agenda was made a topic at the joint session of Senate and House Committees on international Affairs, not in a one on one talk with The president of America Mr. Barack Obama".
