The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, on Friday, paid a personal visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at Abuja House, London.
This was confirmed by Buhari’s spokesperson, Femi Adesina, in a statement.
Adesina said Welby and his principal are friends, who share deep respect for each other.
“The cleric pledged to continue praying for both President Buhari and Nigeria,” Adesina said.
“It will be recalled that when former British prime minister, David Cameron described Nigeria as a ‘fantastically corrupt’ country ahead of an anti-corruption summit in London in 2016, Archbishop Welby had retorted: ‘But this particular President (Buhari) is actually not corrupt’,” he added.
In March, the Archbishop also paid a goodwill visit to Buhari during his medical vacation in London, UK.
