Buhari responds as King Charles III of England asks if he has house in UK
President Muhammadu Buhari spoke about what transpired when he met with His Royal Majesty, King Charles III, in Buckingham Palace, United Kingdom (UK), on Wednesday, November 9.
The president said he met with the British monarch to foster Nigeria’s bilateral relationship with the United Kingdom.
In an interview after meeting the monarch, President Buhari said King Charles III asked him whether he had a house in the UK or not.
The president said:
“He (King Charles III) asked me whether I have a house here (in the UK), I said no. I live in Nigeria alone, the only house I have are those I have before I got into government and I am not very much interested in having houses all over the place. I feel much freer when I have nothing."
