President Muhammadu Buhari says he told King Charles III
that he does not own a house in the United Kingdom.
Buhari met with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace in the
UK on Wednesday.
The meeting between the two leaders was the first since the
ascension of King Charles III to the throne.
Buhari had travelled to the UK for medical checkup on
October 31.
Tolu Ogunlesi, special assistant to the president on digital
and new media, in a Twitter post on Thursday, shared a video of Buhari speaking on what he discussed
during the meeting with the monarch.
“He asked me whether I have a house here. I said ‘no’. Even
in Nigeria, the only houses I have are those I had before I got into
government,” Buhari said.
“I’m not very much interested in having assets all over the
place. I feel much freer when I have nothing.”
During their chat yesterday, King Charles III asked President Buhari if he has a house in the UK.
