marriage offer by the United States of America, stating that sodomy is against
the law of Nigeria and abhorrent to our culture.
The spokesperson of the president, Femi Adesina
said that the issue of gay marriage was discussed during Buhari meeting in the
US but he rejected the offer.

yesterday. PMB was point blank. Sodomy is against the law in Nigeria, and
abhorrent to our culture,” he posted on his Twitter handle.
Recalled that Nigerians have expressed fear
that Obama might pressurized Buhari to sanction gay marriage in Nigeria in
order to get the support of the United States.

not to listen to the US government on issues of Gay rights, so as to protect
the laws and values of Nigeria.
