Senator Ben Murray-Bruce Slams UK Media For "Demeaning" Buhari

Senator and social media activist Ben Murray-Bruce has called out Daily Mail for "demeaning" president Muhammadu Buhari.

In the article, the UK-based newspaper wrote:

The presence of Nigeria’s president at David Cameron’s anti-corruption summit this week may surprise many in his nation – which receives vast amounts of UK aid. Self-proclaimed ‘People’s President’ Buhari began a war on corruption after taking power last year, but critics allege it is a political witch-hunt.

The Government is giving nearly £250m in the coming year to oil-rich Nigeria, whose president sends his daughter to a £26,000-a-year English school. The presence of Nigeria's president at David Cameron's anti-corruption summit this week may surprise many in his nation which receives vast amounts of UK aid.

In April the opposition PDP party unearthed a ticket stub showing Hanan, 16, had flown first-class from London to Nigeria, despite her father’s ban on officials using premium travel. And a Nigerian newspaper claimed Mr Buhari has spent £150,000 on educating his daughter Zahra, a Surrey University student.
