President Buhari also told US lawmakers point-blank that sodomy was against the law in Nigeria and as such the country will not legalize gay marriage.
He was part of several sessions where he answered questions relating to his administration’s plans for Nigeria. Buhari was also interviewed by CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour who asked about the president’s position on negotiating with Boko Haram.
Before he returned to Nigeria, Buhari played host to his War college mates at the Blair House on Wednesday.
Now that the all-important US trip is behind him, Buhari is expected to announce plans that will boost the economy, especially now that the Naira is crashing. Naira dropped to 241 to a dollar, Wednesday.
