Daniel Bwala, one of the spokespersons for the Presidency, has said he is saddened by Kemi Badenoch’s terrible rhetoric against Nigeria and wishes that she would desist from such actions.
Bwala said he wished Badenoch would avoid denigrating Nigeria as a weapon to please her far right base.
Kemi Badenoch, UK Conservative party leader on Saturday said she does not want Britain to be like Nigeria, a poor country where terrible government destroys lives.
Badenoch stated this while delivering her first speech of the year at an event organised by Onward, a British think tank producing research on economic and social issues.
“I grew up in a poor country, and I watched my relatively wealthy family become poorer and poorer and poorer despite working harder as their money disappeared with inflation.
“I came back to the UK at 16 with my father’s last £100 and a hope of a better life. So, I’ve lived with the consequences of a terrible government that destroys lives, and I never ever want that to happen here,” Kemi Badenoch said.
However, reacting to her post, in a post on his X handle on Sunday, Bwala said Nigerians are proud of her rise in the politics of the UK but saddened by her terrible rhetorics against the country.
His post reads ,“I truly wish that sister @KemiBadenoch 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.”
