A new article released by world leading global business publication, Financial Times, claims that US president, Donald Trump, after his meeting with President Buhari on April 30th, told his aides that the Nigerian president was so ''lifeless'' and that he doesn't want to see such a ''lifeless'' person again.
Financial Times quoted Trump as saying this in an article titled Africa looks for something new out of Trump as Kenya president visits the White House.
“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,” the newspaper claimed.
President Buhari is the first president from Sub-Saharan Africa to meet with the US president.
The Kenyan president will today August 27th, meet with President Trump where they will have bilateral discussions.
The newspaper added that advocates of closer US-Africa ties hope Trump's encounter with the 56-year-old Kenyan president, will foster a better US-Africa relationship.
However, President Trump had praised President Buhari during the joint-press conference after the meeting in April.
“Nigeria has a reputation for very massive corruption. I also know that the President has been able to cut that down very substantially. We talked about that, he is working on it and they have made a lot of progress and I think they will continue to make a lot of progress,” Trump said at the Press conference.
The Presidency is yet to react to this article.

This is absolute trash! President Trump would not have said this, pure propaganda from liberals round the world. People just jump to insult after reading baseless news like this one. America is moving on Sit inside your shitholes and spew trash...
Too many Africans are complacentand submissive to the West. It is a far greater insult to biblically bring up Nigeria's negative reputation than to privately criticize their leader. America has a reputation for racism, corruption, and systematic race based poverty, but no other leader would bring that up in the US President's face. Trump is an ***barred word***. An Africans should be looking to unite to leverage global and economic advantages for all Africans instead of rushing to kiss the feet of former slave masters or to even care about their opinions of us or our leaders.
What makes the white man soo insecure when a black man shows up? These guys are so afraid of us, they lose control whenever they c us.
Trump is just a melanin deficient. No wonder he thinks like a beastt. They're not arrogantt, they're sik because they lack melanin! Lack of melanin is a deformity hence the pale skin.
Aba no saa.
Please, who it is that gives clearance to news posts should be fired immediately... I have lost interest in your credibility. And it is not getting better. You spew all forms of scrap as news, talkless of the poor grammar. Kindly lend readers some credit of intelligence. This right here is ABSOLUTE PROPAGANDA. Joselyn Dumas should have taken you on legally to put sense into your st*pid heads....
Shocking how America voted for such an 1diot as their president. Trump holds women's butts, budges into dressing room of models while they're naked and sleeps with P0rn stars, yet he sees himself as having life in him? No wander a comedian said he is the product of a human and an orange hair orangutan. It is surely so.
