The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has condemned the Nigerian government’s signing of the Samoa Agreement, which legalises LGBT rights, transgenderism, abortion, and teen sexual abuse.
News About Nigeria reports that the party demands immediate withdrawal from the agreement, citing betrayal of Nigerian values and sovereignty.
This was contained in a press statement issued by the PRP’s acting national publicity secretary, Comrade Muhammed Ishaq, on Thursday and made available to News About Nigeria.
Ishaq expressed shock and outrage over the government’s decision, which was signed without consulting the people or understanding its implications.
The PRP accused the European Union of bullying and coercion, threatening economic sanctions, and denial of funding for countries that refused to sign the agreement.
The party urged the government to stand firm against foreign interference and protect Nigerian values and laws.
The PRP demands that the National Assembly invite the officials who signed the agreement to explain their actions and calls for a better future for Nigeria built on justice, equality, and fairness.
Recall that the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Atiku Bagudu, confirmed that Nigeria signed the Samoa Agreement at a reception organised by the European Union (EU) on Monday in Abuja.
The party added, “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 legalise 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,” the statement partly reads.
Meanwhile, Bagudu’s media assistant, Bolaji Adebiyi, told the Daily Trust that the agreement his principal referenced on Monday was about a $150 billion trade component.
