Cameron Tells Queen That Nigeria 'Fantastically Corrupt'

UK Prime Minister David Cameron has been recorded telling the Queen that leaders of some "fantastically corrupt" countries, including Nigeria and Afghanistan, were due to attend an anti-corruption summit he is hosting in London.

It is not clear whether Mr Cameron knew that he was being filmed and recorded at the event at Buckingham Palace in London. Addressing the Queen, Mr Cameron said: "We had a very successful cabinet meeting this morning, talking about our anti-corruption summit."  He continued:

"We have got the Nigerians... actually we have got some leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain." He then added: "Nigeria and Afghanistan - possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world."

But the Archbishop of Canterbury was quick to defend President Buhari saying, This particular president is actually not corrupt...He's trying very hard"

Mr Cameron, who welcomed Buhari to his official residence in May last year, interrupts halfway through Mr Welby's response to agree, saying Buhari is "really trying".
