Buhari said this as he made his way out of the Commonwealth Secretariat
in London with some dignitaries where he had delivered his keynote address at the Commonwealth event tagged, “Tackling corruption together: A conference for civil society, business and government leaders.Recall that Cameron while briefing the Queen of England, Elizabeth 11, Tuesday, after a cabinet meeting ahead of the Anti-Corruption summit where the Nigerian president is billed to give a keynote address on Thursday, tagged Nigeria and Afghanistan as “fantastically corrupt” nations.
Buhari, not only gave in to Cameron’s comment on Nigeria but reinstated that he was not embarrassed by Cameron’s statement.
According to sources, Waghorn asked Buhari if he would like an apology from the Prime Minister, Buhari said, “No, no. Not at all.”
Waghorn: Are you embarrassed by what he (Cameron) said?
Waghorn: Is Nigeria fantastically corrupt?
Buhari: Yes
The above was their conversation.
Well, the truth is bitter. i believe that when a country is not yet developed there tend to be a high rate of corruption as in Nigeria. I also believe that corruption is everywhere .
