Buhari/ Ubama Meeting - Nigeria Maintain Stand On Same Sex Marriage!

Despite the much anticipated outcome of the meeting between Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari and his U.S counterpart Barrack Ubama, on the issue of 'same sex/ gay rights' relationships, Nigeria continued to maintain her 'zero-tolerance' stand on same sex relationships. 

This was made known in a statement released by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Nigerian President, Femi Adesina via his twitter handle Wednesday, July 22nd. 

The twit below:
"The same sex marriage issue came up at the joint session of Senate and House Committees on Foreign Affairs, not in direct talks with Obama".

"Talks shifted to another matter once PMB emphatically stated Nigeria's stand on same sex marriage. The issue was not pushed".



According to U.S Secretary of States John Kerry, talk between the two nations were instead focused on  "many areas of cooperation, from counter terrorism to energy".
