Peoples Redemption Party on Thursday asked the Federal Government to withdraw Nigeria’s involvement in the pro-Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Samoa Agreement.
PRP Acting National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Ishaq, stated this in a statement.
Recall that the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Atiku Bagudu, had confirmed that Nigeria signed the Samoa Agreement at a reception organised by the European Union (EU) on Monday in Abuja.
PRP argued that signing the agreement is a betrayal of the Nigerian people’s trust and values.
The party’s statement read, “We demand that the government immediately withdraw from this agreement.
“The Samoa Agreement, signed on November 15, 2023, in Samoa, is a celebration of perversity and a threat to Nigeria’s sovereignty. Articles 2.5 and 29.5 of the Agreement legalize LGBT, transgenderism, abortion, teen sexual abuse, and perversity in African countries.
“We cannot understand why Nigerian officials who signed the Agreement do not understand its implications for our nation’s values and way of life.
“This Agreement is a product of European Union (EU) pressure and coercion, with threats of economic sanctions and denial of funding for countries that refuse to sign. We reject this form of bullying and intimidation, which is a clear violation of our sovereignty.”
Meanwhile, Bagudu’s media assistant, Bolaji Adebiyi, said that the agreement his principal made reference to on Monday was about a $150 billion trade component.
