Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the UK Conservative Party, has made recent remarks regarding Nigeria for which she has expressed no remorse.
Born in the UK but largely raised in Nigeria, Badenoch was criticised by Vice President Kashim Shettima following her scathing words about Nigerian politicians.
“I grew up in Nigeria, and I saw firsthand what happens when politicians are in it for themselves when they use public money as their private piggy banks when they pollute the whole political atmosphere with their failure to serve others.
“I saw what socialism is for millions. I saw poverty and broken dreams. I came to Britain to make my way in a country where hard work and honest endeavour can take you anywhere,” she had stated.

Responding, Shettima accused her of denigrating Nigeria, prompting a reply from Badenoch, who disclosed that she stands by her comments.
Speaking on Shettima’s criticism, Badenoch’s spokesperson said: “She is the leader of the opposition, and she is very proud of her leadership of the opposition in this country.
“She tells the truth. She tells it like it is. She’s not going to couch her words, and she stands by what she says.”
