President Buhari Departs London

President Muhammadu Buhari is on his way back to Nigeria after the anti-corruption summit that took him to the United Kingdom, Channels television reports.

While in London the President spoke to journalists on his assessment of the fight against corruption, insecurity and how he uncovered the padding of the 2016 budget.

He said that if he had not uncovered the padding of the budget, corruption would have crept into that 2016 budget, blaming it on technocrats.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday morning held a closed-door meeting with the Archbishop of Canterbury, in the UK, Justin Welby, before leaving for Abuja.

This was after world leaders had agreed that there is need to eradicate corruption among nations at the high profile anti-corruption summit in London.

At the opening session of the summit, British Prime Minister, David Cameron, promised to set up a public register to show owners of properties in Britain, in an effort to stop stolen funds from being laundered through London’s property market.
