PMB SPEAKS IN LONDON

JUST RETURN OUR LOOTED MONEY STASHED IN YOUR COUNTRY, BUHARI IN LONDON ANTI-CORRUPTION SUMMIT

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has told a conference in London of the steps his government has taken to tackle corruption since taking office a year ago.

Mr Buhari said: 

We have implemented the Treasury Single Account whereby all federal government revenue goes into one account.

This measure would make it impossible for public officers to divert public funds to private accounts as was the fact before.

We have been able to remove 23,000 ghost workers from our payroll thereby saving billions that would have been stolen."

President Muhammadu Buhari says he does not want an apology from UK Prime Minister David Cameron for describing his country as "fantastically corrupt" - but he does want the repatriation of assets stashed in the UK by corrupt Nigerians. 

Speaking at an anti-corruption conference in London, he said:

No. I am not going to demand any apology from anybody. What I am demanding is the return of assets.

I have already mentioned how Britain really led and how disgraceful one of the Nigerian executives was. He had to dress like a woman to leave Britain and leave behind him his bank account and fixed assets, which Britain is prepared to hand over to us. This is what I am asking for.

What would I do with an apology. I need something tangible.
