Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari faces criticism for plagiarizing a speech by U.S. President, Barack Obama, which Buhari blamed on an “overzealous” staff member.
Buhari’s speech came at an event on September 8, which called for an end to “dishonesty, indolence, unbridled corruption and widespread impunity” in Nigeria as part of his “Change Begins With Me” campaign.
Adeola Akinremi, a columnist at Nigeria’s THISDAY newspaper, noticed the similarities and called Buhari “unethical” for his unauthorized use of Obama’s 2008 victory speech.
