Kemi Badenoch: I Do Not Want Britain To Be Like Nigeria—–The leader of the United Kingdom (UK)’s Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has fired fresh shots against Nigeria.
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that the Nigerian-born politician made headlines in 2024 over the repeated onslaught against the country of her birth.
While delivering her first speech of the year at an event organised by Onward, a British think tank that researches economic and social issues, Badenoch said she does not want Britain to be like Nigeria’s terrible government, which destroys lives.
The Tory leader highlighted the importance of building trust, saying the Conservative Party is the right group to fix Britain, because the UK could become like Nigeria if the system is not reformed.
Sharing experience about inflation in Nigeria, she said, “And why does this matter so much to me? It’s because I know what it is like to have something and then to lose it. I don’t want Britain to lose what it has.
“I grew up in a poor country and watched my relatively wealthy family become poorer and poorer, despite working harder and harder as their money disappeared with inflation.
“I came back to the UK aged 16 with my father’s last £100 in the hope of a better life. So I have lived with the consequences of terrible governments that destroy lives, and I never, ever want it to happen here.”
