From the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came at the weekend confirmation that President
Muhammadu Buhari will visit United States to meet with President Barack Obama on
July 20, 2015.
The visit is coming barely a week after the US Supreme Court legalised same sex marriage in all states of America.
Briefing the press in Abuja on Saturday, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bulus Lolo, said the President Buhari’s visit to U.S. would provide an avenue to
discuss political, economic and other issues of mutual benefit to both countries, contrary to speculations that the meeting may be used by Obama to put pressure on Buhari to reverse the
anti-gay marriage law passed by the National Assembly and assented to by former President,
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
