President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday said he is more interested in repatriating Nigeria’s stolen assets than any apology from British Prime Minister, David Cameron, following sour remarks ahead of the Anti – Corruption Summit in London.

He said this during a question and answer session with journalists after delivering a keynote address on “Why We Must Tackle Corruption Together” at a pre-summit conference of development partners, the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council, Transparency International and other civil society groups.

Mr Cameron was caught on camera telling the Queen that the UK would be greeting leaders of some ‘fantastically corrupt’ nations on Thursday and citing Nigeria and Afghanistan as one of those countries.

The Anti-corruption Summit that will begin in the UK on Thursday is expected to come up with a declaration that will make it faster to repatriate all stolen funds back to their countries of origin.

The Acting High Commissioner of Nigeria to the United Kingdom, Mr Simon Orga, said the declaration would remove all obstacle and bottlenecks that had impeded the repatriation of such funds.

Agreement will also be reached on the repatriation or extradition of persons that had looted their nation’s funds to ensure they faced trial.

Mr Orga expressed optimism that the summit would remove all impediments to the efforts of the Nigerian President to get all stolen money in the UK repatriated.
“At the end of the conference there will be a declaration and it will focus on all stolen wealth that are in the UK to have them repatriated.

“It will be faster to facilitate the repatriation of the assets that are abroad and even the people behind it, leaving abroad could be extradited to Nigeria.

“It has gone beyond the shores of Nigeria and many world leaders already know the implication of fighting corruption and that is why they have conveyed the summit,” he told journalists present.

#FantasticallyCorrupt : David Cameron Finally Explains His Comment About Nigeria

British PM David Cameron

British Prime Minister David Cameron has explained his comment after describing Nigeria as being a ‘fantastically corrupt’ country.

The news about David Cameron’s description of Nigeria spread like wild fire and had the internet abuzz.

The British PM was taking questions in parliament on Wednesday, May 11, the day after he was caught on camera telling Queen Elizabeth that leaders of some “fantastically corrupt” are visiting United Kingdom.

Angus Robertson, SNP Westminster leader, then asked a question about the anti-corruption summit and the allegedly corrupt nations.

Addressing the question, Cameron said the point of the summit being held in London is to show that action to tackle corruption is needed by developed as well as developing countries.

Cameron says the government is taking steps to ensure “plundered money from African countries can’t be hidden in London.”

Meanwhile, President Buhari has revealed that he does not want an apology from Cameron, but a return of the assets that were taken out of his country and sent to the UK.
