Archbishop of Canterbury : Nigeria is a country with more promise, more opportunity, more potential than anywhere else in many continents

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and President Muhammadu Buhari

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby while welcoming the Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari yesterday to Lambeth Palace in London, United Kingdom, said Nigeria is a great country which has more promise, more opportunity, more potential than anywhere else that I know in many continents, not just in Africa and that it's a rare day at Lambeth Palace when they do not pray for Nigeria which is the largest country in Africa, indeed the most populous black Nation on Earth.

"It was a great honour to welcome the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, to Lambeth Palace in London this morning."

PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI PAID COURTESY CALL TO THE ARCHBISHOP AT LAMBETH PALACE

His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari carried on with his relentless diplomatic engagements up to the very last minute before leaving the UK.

Following the unfortunate slip of the tongue made by PM David Cameron about Nigeria supposedly being fantastically corrupt, Buhari saw an excellent opportunity to embark on a diplomatic assault intended to sell Nigeria's image in the eyes of the British public and the international community. And he went for it in earnest!
