President Muhammadu Buhari has in a chat with Sky News admitted that Nigeria is a corrupt country.
The admission comes after the UK Prime Minister, David Cameron was caught on camera regarding Nigeria as a “Fantastically Corrupt” Nation.
The president when asked by the Diplomatic Editor, Dominic Waghorn whether his country was corrupt answered: “Yes.”
The president, speaking in London said: “I am not going to demand any apology from anybody.”
He added: “What would I do with an apology?”
“I have already mentioned how disgraceful one of the Nigerian executive dressed as a woman to leave Britain, leaving behind his bank account and fixed asset, which Britain is prepared to hand over to us, this is what I’m asking for. What will I do with apology? I need something tangible.”
“Corruption is a hydra headed monster. It does not differentiate between developed and developing countries. It constitutes a serious threat to good governance, rule of law, peace and security as well as well as development programmes aimed at tackling poverty and economic backwardness,” he said.
