Following the successful U.S. tour of President Muhammadu Buhari, the Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has congratulated the president and his team for their outright rejection of gay marriage, furthering that the president should probe past President Goodluck Jonathan, former minister sand also ban the indicted ones from politics.
