By Levinus Nwabughiogu
ABUJA-President Mohammadu has admitted
that his country, Nigeria "is fantastically
corrupt," giving credence to the words of
British Prime Minister, David Cameron who
shared such as a joke with Queen Elizabeth
11 before television cameras.
The president also stated that he would not
demand any apology from Camerom from
making the comment, saying that he was
more interested in the repatriation of stolen
assets by Nigerians stashed abroad including
the United Kingdom, saying "I need something
tangible".
Buhari is currently in London attending the
global anti-corruption summit hosted by
Cameron.
President Buhari made the admittance to Sky
News' Diplomatic Editor, Dominic Waghorn in
London.
In the 29 seconds chat minutes monitored by
our correspondent, Waghorn had pressed
president Buhari to know whether Nigeria
Nigeria was "fantastically corrupt",
surprisingly, the president admitted.
The chat went this way:
Sky news: Will you like an apology from the
prime minister?
Buhari: "No, no not at all"
Sky news: Are you embarrassed by what he
said?
Buhari: "No I'm not."
Sky news: Is Nigeria fantastically corrupt?
Buhari: "Yes"
But according the Correspondent, Senators
Chukwuka Utazi, chairman, senate committee
on anti-corruption and financial crimes and
Dino Melaye were not happy with Cameron's
comment on Nigeria.
For Utazi, "I am taken aback. I am not happy
about it," while for Melaye, it was "reckless"
and "demeaning".
