Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari Monday said he avoided bringing up President Donald Trump’s alleged vulgar remarks about African countries when the two presidents today at the White House because he was not sure his American counterpart truly made comment.

Buhari, the first sub-Saharan Africa president to meet Trump since he was sworn in January 2017, is currently in the US for bilateral talks on the invitation of the American president.

“I am not sure about the validity or whether that allegation against the President was true or not, so the best thing to do for me is to keep quiet,” Buhari said during a joint press conference with Trump at the Rose Garden at the White House.


Trump came under fire early in the year after he reportedly called some African countries ‘shithole’ at a private White House meeting on January 12. But he denied making the comment and labelled his accusers as fake news peddlers.

He doubled down on that denial during the press conference.

“We didn’t discuss it, because the president knows me, and he knows where I’m coming from and I appreciate that. We did not discuss it,” Trump said.

Well then, African Dignity is back.
In as much the statement is rescinded,I think Buhari recognition is well presidential here, and represented us well.
I think Trump is definitely not as vulgar as painted by many.

Even if you discuss it, what would you have done, slap him?

“You do have some countries that are in very bad shape and very tough places to live in. But we didn’t discuss it because the president knows me and he knows where I’m coming from.”

I think the president handled it well.

Both men did well.

Is he afraid of him??

It is because you don't have the political will to ask such a question in the first place.When well educated leaders like Trump are talking how can a cattle patron ask such a question you never reach that level.When I watched the meeting between the two I thought the president would not disappoint but he obviously did by making stupid statement like how herdsmen don't carry AK-47 and I just bowed my head in shame.

Oga sha dey pack for daura..as u dey come back naija u fit branch daura..see as things dey go

IPOB are still pained about his visit but unfortunately for them their opinion is as useless as horse sh!tt.

You fit? you nor reach calibre of people wey dey challenge Trump

Coward

As if the killings in Nigeria will stop if he had asked him.

Like He's bold enough to bring up a topic.
He will answer what he's asked in his myopic view.

What is there to discuss about it?

Trump was right on the shíthole thingy na

Countries that were our mates before have left us behind...

Almost 60 years after independence, we still cannot generate enough electricity...common electricity... yet we have coal, petroleum, wind, sun, and enough water bodies

We produce crude oil and import the same oil again because we cannot refine it after more than 50years...

It is truly a shíthóle

Buhari is a shithole president





Sue me
