The fresh attack of Nigeria by United Kingdom, UK’s Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has excited reaction from the Presidency.
Badenoch in a fresh onslaught against Nigeria, her place of origin, while speaking at an event organised by Onward, a British think-tank that researches economic and social issues, said she disliked a situation in which Britain turned to Nigeria in terms of bad government and absence of infrastructure, describing the largest black nation as a, “country that destroys life.”
In reaction to the derogation, the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy Communications, Daniel Bwala, urged the Tory leader to desist from using Nigeria as a weapon to please her far right support base.
Bwala hit back via his X handle where he tweeted: “I truly wish that sister Kemi Badenoch would avoid denigrating Nigeria, the country of her origin as a weapon to please her far right base.
“Rishi Sunak never weaponized the gang rape and other vices in India; the country of his origin just so he would impressed the far right base.
“She is smart, intelligent and we are proud of her rise in the politics of the UK; but we are equally saddened by her terrible rhetoric against Nigeria.”
