United States President, Donald Trump, called his Nigeria counterpart, Muhammadu Buhari, “lifeless,” after their April meeting, claimed global business newspaper, Financial Times, in a recent publication. Buhari and Trump met at the White House on April 30. “The first meeting with Nigeria’s ailing 75-year-old Muhammadu Buhari in April ended with the US president telling aides he never wanted to meet someone so lifeless again, according to three people familiar with the matter,” Financial Times claimed. The PUNCH recalls that Trump had, at a meet-the-press held by the two leaders, praised the Buhari administration. The 72-year-old American president had then called Nigeria one of the most beautiful places on earth, adding that he would love to visit someday.
