President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed what he told the British monarch, His Royal Majesty, King Charles III, in Buckingham Palace when he visited.
Recall that President Buhari went on a courtesy visit to Buckingham palace on Wednesday, November 9.
In an interview with newsmen after the meeting with the monarch, President Buhari revealed that King Charles III asked him whether he owns a house in the UK and he replied no.
“He (King Charles III) asked me whether I have a house here (in the UK), I said no. I live in Nigeria alone, the only house I have are those I have before I got into government and I am not very much interested in having houses all over the place. I feel much freer when I have nothing” the President said.
When asked why he made the visit to the King, President Buhari said Nigeria is a huge market and it is only wise for the business relationship between the two countries to be nurtured.
“Firstly, we are to meet with the king in Kigali but unfortunately, the meeting was postponed. He is interested very much in Nigeria, maybe because of Nigeria’s relationship with Britain for long, our economic strength, I think we are still of great attachment to them” he said.
