“What do you expect from the international community when the president of a nation keeps going abroad to say that his people are corrupt?” a statement signed by his spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, queried.
He also said it was annoying that President Buhari said he was embarrassed and shocked by Mr. Cameron’s comment. Instead of telling Nigerians that he was shocked, Buhari should apologise to Nigerians for de-marketing the country and his people, he said.
He noted that it was on record that the President had said in United Kingdom that “Nigerians’ reputation for crime has made them unwelcome in Britain” and went on to warn Nigerians to stop trying to make asylum claims in Britain, saying that their reputation for criminality has made it hard for them to be accepted abroad.
“When a president mounts the podium in foreign lands and gleefully says that his own people are criminals, that they are corrupt and that those abroad should be sent back home, why won’t presidents of other countries brand all citizens of such a country as fantastically corrupt?
“Rather than this grandstanding from the presidency, conceited efforts should be made to redeem the image of Nigeria that the president has destroyed.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
