… Says Agreement Purportedly Promotes LGBTQ Rights
The House of Representatives on Tuesday asked the federal government to suspend the implementation of the Samoa agreement signed recently.
The house said the implementation of the agreement should be put on hold pending the conclusion of an investigation into the matter.
This followed the adoption of a motion by the Deputy Minority Leader, Aliyu Madaki, and 88 others, at Tuesday’s plenary, calling attention to some allegedly offensive clauses in the agreement.
