FG Under Pressure To Sign Gay Right Into Law And Abolish Death Penalty

The Federal Government has said it is under pressure from the international community to sign the Gay Rights Bill into law in Nigeria.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru, stated this in Abuja on Friday at an interactive session with the diplomatic corps, even as he accused the international community of hypocrisy. He insisted that Nigeria would not sign the Gay Rights bill or abolish the death penalty without reviewing the constitution. The minister said that Nigeria does not impose its culture on other countries and as such it was wrong for anyone to attempt to impose a foreign culture on the nation.
