Presidential spokesman Daniel Bwala has stated that UK Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch denigrates Nigeria to gain acceptance of the rights in her party.
Badenoch was recently quoted as saying she did not want Britain to be like Nigeria where she claimed the government had failed.
Addressing her remarks while appearing on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Bwala said her rhetoric will not affect Nigeria’s presidency.
According to him, Badenoch’s denigration of Nigeria is counterproductive.
“The only problem we have with Kemi, I think, is the rhetoric because Kemi belongs to the right base in the United Kingdom which is what you see in this populism around the world that you can deepen on your support system if you can feed off of the anger of the people.
“And so she’s building a rhetoric of denigrating Nigeria, demarketing in Nigeria, so she can probably win the acceptance or acceptation of the rights in her party.
“And that to me is counterproductive because if you look at Rishi Sunak, he is also of Indian origin. There has been this issue of gang rape in India.
“He has never used that as a weapon to promote what he believed to be a departure from what is likely to be believed as hereditary or history of the Indian people, but she has always denigrated Nigeria,” Bwala stated.
