Articles 2.5 and 29.5 of the Agreement legalize LGBT, transgenderism, abortion, teen sexual abuse, and perversity in African countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot understand why Nigerian officials who signed the Agreement do not understand its implications for our nation\u2019s values and way of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis 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,\u201d the statement partly reads.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bagudu\u2019s media assistant, Bolaji Adebiyi, told Daily Trust that the agreement his principal referenced on Monday was about a $150 billion trade component.<\/p>\n<p>Withdraw Nigeria\u2019s involvement in pro-LGTB Samoa agreement \u2013 PRP warns FG<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has asked the Nigerian Government to withdraw the country\u2019s involvement in the pro-Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40024,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,3,6580],"tags":[16666,8,19815,180,1505,249,19814,6581,19816,725,3784],"class_list":["post-40023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-politics","category-prp","tag-agreement","tag-akwa-ibom","tag-involvement","tag-news","tag-nigerias","tag-politics","tag-pro-lgtb","tag-prp","tag-samoa","tag-warns","tag-withdraw"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40023\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
