© Provided by IBT Media (UK) David Cameron Blunders In Front Of Queen Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari wants the U.K. to help return stolen assets from his country and does not need an apology from David Cameron for calling his country "fantastically corrupt".Buhari delivered a keynote speech at an anti-corruption conference in London on Wednesday, ahead of an international summit on the same topic in the English capital on Thursday.

His speech came a day after British Prime Minister Cameron described Nigeria and Afghanistan as possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world.

Buhari's spokesman Garba Shehu had said that Buhari was embarrassed by the comments and that Cameron must be looking at an old snapshot of Nigeria.

The Nigerian president said that he was not demanding any apology from anybody after Cameron's unguarded remarks, which were made during a conversation with Queen Elizabeth II and Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby at a Buckingham Palace reception on Tuesday.
