President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday in London, played host to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, at the Abuja House, the official residence of the Nigerian high commissioner to Britain in London.
Archbishop Welby visited the president in company of Josiah Idowu-Fearon, a reverend and secretary general of the Anglican communion worldwide.
Archbishop Welby who enjoys a cordial relationship with President Buhari had defended him when the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron described Nigeria as “fantastically corrupt” in a private conversation with Queen Elizabeth in May ahead of an anti-corruption summit.
The archbishop said: “But this particular president (Buhari) is actually not corrupt.”
Buhari is expected back in the country this week.
