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.
But Cameron was interjected by the ArchBishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby who reminded him that president Buhari was not corrupt.
Reacting, senior special assistant to Buhari on media and publicity, Garba Shehu said that Cameron should know Nigeria was no longer that country where anything goes.
“It is certainly not reflective of the good work that the President is doing. The eyes of the world are on what is happening here. The Prime Minister must be looking at an old snapshot of Nigeria.
“Things are changing with corruption and everything else. That, we believe is the reason they chose him as a keynote speaker at the pre-summit conference.
“Thank you to the Archbishop. We very much cherish the good relationship between our two countries and nothing should stand in the way of improving those relations”, the presidency said.
