The Nigerian Presidency on Tuesday said it found as “embarrassing” a
statement credited to the UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, describing
Nigeria as a “fantastically corrupt” country.

In a statement sent to
PREMIUM TIMES by President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant
on Media, Garba Shehu, shortly after the news of the Prime Minister’s
comment went viral on the Internet, the presidency said, “This is
embarrassing to us, to us say the least, given the good work that the
President is doing, Mr. Buhari said. “The eyes of the world are on what
is happening here.”
