More reactions have been trailing the comment made by the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, describing Nigeria as one of the most corrupt nations in the world.
Transparency International,
a group whose focus is on fighting corruption across the globe, faulted
the British PM's comment, and called on Britain to make stricter rules
that will stop looters from hiding money in the country.
Nigerians also aired their opinion on the matter on various social media platforms, especially on Twitter.
The London chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) wasted no time to also condemn Cameron's comment, describing it as rash.
The APC London chapter, in a press release issued by its Press Secretary, Adenike Lucas, also supported President Buhari's call for the release of funds stashed in various British banks.
The party said "At
an anti-corruption event in London today, President Muhammadu Buhari
revealed that he was not interested in an apology from the Prime
Minister who made a comment that Nigeria was “fantastically corrupt” to
the Queen yesterday.
"APC UK supports
President Buhari’s call for the British PM to facilitate the return of
stolen money and assets stashed in the UK.
"We understand that the UK is becoming an environment where looters come to hide / invest their stolen wealth.
"We
join President Buhari in demanding for the “establishment of an
anti-corruption infrastructure that will trace and return stolen assets
to their countries of origin."
The statement also said "The
UK must introduce retrospective legislation that would address impunity
and help to repatriate funds that were stored up here by corrupt
officials and businesses.
"Over $ 400
billion have been stolen from oil resource; we call for all this monies
hidden in offshore accounts be returned back to Nigeria.
"The
President is doing a good job in his fight against corruption and the
UK government has a responsibility to ensure it does not allow corrupt
officials to hide their loots here."
A coalition of civil society groups under the aegis of the Transition Monitoring Group has
also called on the western nations to show commitment to the fight
against corruption by releasing looted funds deposited in various banks
across the globe
