A former military dictator this week defeated anti-gay Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan in the country’s presidential election.

The Associated Press reported Nigerian election officials said former Gen. Muhammadu Buhari defeated Jonathan in the March 28 poll by a margin of more than 2.5 million votes.

Jonathan — who signed a draconian bill into law last year that, among other things, bans membership in an LGBT advocacy group and punishes those who enter into a same-sex marriage with up to 14 years in prison — highlighted the anti-gay statute while on the campaign trail.

Buhari’s party, the All Progressives Congress, supports the law.

The former dictator who has pledged to support democracy in Africa’s most populous country did not speak about the issue during the campaign. A Jonathan spokesperson less than a month before the election claimed Buhari had promised four unnamed Western countries that he would extend marriage rights to same-sex couples in the country if Nigerians were to elect him as their next president.

Media reports indicate Femi Fani-Kayode told reporters that Buhari “had talks with the representatives of at least four Western countries” while he was in the U.K.

“The leaders of those countries made an offer to General Muhammadu Buhari and we are reliably informed that he has put the offer under consideration,” said Fani-Kayode, according to the Premium Times, an online newspaper in the Nigerian capital of Abuja. “The proposition and offer was that if he was prepared to support legislation in Nigeria to allow same-sex marriage and if he was prepared to repeal the anti-gay laws in Nigeria they will, in return, endorse, support and fund him, initially covertly and eventually publicly, at the right time.”




Buhari enters office with ‘blank sheet’

Rev. Rowland Jide Macaulay, founder of the House of Rainbow Fellowship, a London-based organization that works with Nigerian LGBT and human rights groups, is among the advocates with whom the Washington Blade spoke this week who said they are cautiously optimistic about Buhari’s presidency.

“The sentiment of many gays and lesbians in Nigeria is to flee to safer grounds,” Macaulay told the Blade on Friday in an email. “The situation for LGBT people in Nigeria will not change rapidly, but with a promise of change by the president-elect, I am optimistic that the conversation for gay right may begin sooner.”

Davis Mac-Iyalla, a gay Nigerian who sought asylum in the U.K. in 2008, expressed a similar sentiment.

“I am not very sure that Buhari will pursue discrimination of the Jonathan anti-gay law,” he told the Blade earlier this week. “But I am optimistic that his government will not make Nigeria unsafe for LGBT people.”

Bisi Alimi, who in 2004 became the first openly gay man to appear on Nigerian television, received asylum in the U.K. in 2008.

The prominent advocate told the Blade on Wednesday during a Skype interview from his London home that he feels Buhari “has a blank sheet when it comes to” the country’s draconian anti-gay law.

Boko Haram has killed tens of thousands of people in the northeastern part of the country since launching a violent insurgency in 2009.

Members of the Islamic extremist group last April kidnapped 276 girls from a boarding school in Chibok in Borno State. Fears of Boko Haram disrupting the election factored into the Nigerian government’s decision to postpone it from Feb. 14 to March 28.

Alimi noted to the Blade that Jonathan continued to highlight his decision to sign the draconian anti-gay law in spite of the growing domestic and international outrage over the kidnappings that sparked the “Bring Back Our Girls” campaign. The LGBT rights activist further stressed security, employment and other issues were among the top concerns of Nigerian voters going into the presidential election.

“The law was not even in the top five (issues,)” said Alimi. “That says a lot about how much of a misplacement of priorities was when it was signed.”

Mac-Iyalla made a similar point.

“This election has demonstrated what Nigerians truly want; which is good governance, education, equality and human rights,” he told the Blade.

President Obama on Wednesday spoke with Buhari and Jonathan, but a readout of the telephone calls the White House released indicates the men did not discuss Nigeria’s LGBT rights record.

The U.S. Embassy in Abuja has yet to respond to the Blade’s request for comment.

“We continue to promote the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all people in cooperation with Nigerian civil society groups,” a State Department official told the Blade in January in response to the reported arrest of a dozen “suspected homosexuals” during a same-sex wedding outside the northern Nigerian city of Kano.

Homosexuality remains punishable by death in areas of the country that are under Shari’a law.

LGBT rights advocates last August criticized Obama for inviting Jonathan to the White House during a summit that drew dozens of African heads of state to D.C.

Rubbish

pafestula:
The former minister questioned the competence
of President Goodluck Jonathan.
A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode ,
said President Goodluck Jonathan by his misrule
is leaving a legacy of “destruction and disaster” in
Nigeria.
Speaking at a book launch in Lagos on Wednesday,
Mr. Fani-Kayode, in a speech titled ”A Date with
Destiny,” said the administration of Mr. Jonathan
has plunged the country into financial recklessness,
bloodbath (apart from during the civil war) and
total misrule never before experienced in the
country.
On the planned amnesty for the violent insurgent
group, Boko Haram , the former minister said it is
an “inglorious endeavour” and an “exercise in
futility” that will “set a dangerous precedent.”
“4, 400 precious souls cut short and slaughtered like
chicken by Boko Haram in the last two years. How
can our government sleep well at night with all that
innocent blood that has flowed whilst they are at
the helm of affairs of our nation?” the former
minister said.
“More innocent souls have been killed in the last 2
years by terrorists than at any other time in the
history of Nigeria outside the civil war. How does
President Jonathan and his”today’s men” feel about
winning such a dubious and dishonourable title?
Does he still regard Boko Haram as “his siblings”
who he “cannot hurt”?
“Why did the President refuse to visit the good
people of the northeast for so long despite the fact
that hundreds of people are still being slaughtered
there by Boko Haram every day?” he added.
He said the government has proved it does not
“give a damn” to the suffering of the people and
the loss of lives by not visiting the troubled region
until politicians from the opposition All
Progressives Congress (APC) did; and the
president’s lukewarm and delayed response to the
recent massacre of 185 people in Baga.
“He did not visit the place until the APC governors
took the initiative, did the right thing, went there
boldly and paved the way? It was only after that
initiative was taken by the opposition that our
President woke up from his deep slumber,
remembered that he was the Commander in Chief
of our Armed Forces and saw fit to go to the north-
east. Why did he take so long before doing so?”
“Does the fact that it took our Government two
days to even acknowledge that the Baga massacres
ever took place and that when they finally did all
they said was that they would ”investigate it” not
seem rather insensitive? This was after the Sec. Gen.
of the U.N. and numerous other world leaders had
not only condemned the massacre but had also
expressed their condolences to our President, to the
Nigerian people and to those that lost their loved
ones. Yet to the best of my knowledge not one word
of condolence or regret was offered by our
President or our Government. Since when have we
degenerated to such a point that when our people
are killed in such a brazen manner and in such
large numbers we don’t even seem to ”give a
damn”? Since when have we become a nation of
sociopaths that have no feeling and that do not
value human life?” he said.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said the Jonathan administration
has refused to tackle corruption and therefore has
plunged the economy into deeper mire by its
wanton display of financial impudence.
“When will our President and his ”today’s men”
answer David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom’s, question and tell him what they
did with the 100 billion USD that they made from
oil sales in the last two years? When will they
answer Obi Ezekwesili’s question about how they
squandered 67 billion USD of our foreign reserves?
When will they answer the question that Nasir El
Rufai asked sometime back about how they spent
over 350 billion naira on security vote in one year
alone? When will they answer the many questions
that Pat Utomi and many other distinguished and
courageous leaders and ”yesterday’s men” have
raised about the trillions of naira that have been
supposedly spent on oil subsidy payments in the
last two years?” he asked.
“When will they implement the findings and
recommendations of the Nuhu Ribadu report on the
thievery that has gone on in the oil sector? When
will they cultivate the guts and find the courage to
respond to a call for a public debate to defend their
abysmal record? When will these ”today’s men”
stop being so reckless with our money? Why would
our ”today’s man” FCT Minister budget 5 billion for
the ”rehabilitation of prostitutes in the Abuja”? Why
would he budget 7.5 billion naira for a new ”FCT
city gate”? Why would he budget 4 billion naira for
some kind of building or centre for the First Lady?
Why would the Federal Government of ”todays
men” budget 1 billion naira for food in the Villa?
Are these the priorities of ”today’s men”? And all
this when Nigeria is back in foreign debt to the
tune of 9 billion USD and is still borrowing, when
local debt has hit almost 50 billion USD, when 40
per cent of Nigerians are unemployed, when
graduate unemployment has hit 80 per cent, when
40 per cent of Nigerians do not have access to good
food and are described by the U.N.D.P as being
”hungry” and when 70 per cent of Nigerians are
living below the poverty line? Is this the vision of
”today’s men?”

Hmmm good luck and buhari are two matured people I respect unlike there supporters

what is it about their supporters?

Expectation on Buhari is high, people See him as God sent to rescue Nigeria, I urge all Nigeria to believe in the Incoming Goverment, give our full support and hold them accountable for any misappropiation and bad governance. It not going to be easy but I believe with the right team in his cabinet then we should all be expecting a prosperous four years.

Fellonigerians:
Better for Head of Service to come from within... They are enough capable people there... Will be a waste to put Fashols there...

Fashola should be Minister of power, and Prof Pat Utomi should be Minister of Finance, Fayemi should be Minister of Works, Prof Jega should be Minister of Education, Prof Osinbajo should double as the VP and Minister of Justice, Oby she should be Minister of National Planning, Abike Dabiri foreign Affairs, damn...APC got lot of brainbox in their team

I don't believe it, the ibos didn't just come out to vote, they all relly on ringing which was the normal PDP method, I think the card reader makes the difference. Kudos to Prof Jega!

Lagos don't be left behind, Vote Ambode!!!
The best man for the job.

Simple : Gej displaying is world class cluelessness

blackfase:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammadu_Buhari

many on this forum were too young to witness his 20 months of competent sterwardship of our nation.

He achieved so much in his war against corruption between Dec1983 and Aug 1985.

He is patriotic, has integrity and is the only ex-leader not living in opulance.

Unlike IBB and OBJ he was not a western stooge and held out for the best deal for Nigeria in negotiations with IMF.

He jailed over 600 corrupt politicians and businessmen and refused to release them until their loot was recovered. He even tried to forcifully kidnap Shagari's defence minister from the UK, who had stolen billions of dollars after British government refused to send him back to Nigeria.
There was less crime, he took a hard line on all crime especially armed robbers and drug traffikers.

in just 20 months he improved Nigeria's trade deficit and national debt.

Jerry Rawlings of Ghana, that many of us admire, actually modelled himself on Buhari.

Nigeria's number one problem is corruption- once corruption is tackled, all other things from elections to development of electricity / infrastructure would work better.

Buhari is the only current politician with a proven record of effectively fighting corruption .

It is unfortunate that he was probably only otherthrow because Western countries like UK sponsored their stooge IBB probably with the help of the other western stooge Obj, to overthrow him. OBJ and IBB themselves were starting to come under Buhari's anti-corruption radar.

he may not be the best available, but he is a proven patriotic and non-corrupt leader.

well said!

OP nice thread, good idea. Between supporters should login through the site on my signature to create their on march4Buhari logo! God bless u all!
