President Buhari Tells Foreign Media That Nigeria Is Corrupt

The President of Nigeria has admitted to Sky News that his country is corrupt, after David Cameron was caught on camera making the same point.

Asked by Sky News' Diplomatic Editor Dominic Waghorn whether his country was corrupt, he answered: "Yes." 

Speaking in London at an anti-corruption event hosted by the Commonwealth Secretariat, Muhammadu Buhari said he would not be expecting the Prime Minister to say sorry.

"I am not going to demand any apology from anybody," he said. 

To cheers from Nigerian delegates in the audience, he added: "What would I do with an apology?"
