Kemi Badenoch, Leader Of The United Kingdom’s Conservative Party, Has Raised Concerns About The Impact Of Poor Governance In Britain, Comparing It To Challenges Experienced In Nigeria.
Speaking At Her First Event Of The Year, Hosted By Onward, A British Think Tank Focusing On Economic And Social Issues, The Nigeria-Born UK Politician Emphasized The Need To Rebuild Trust And Implement Reforms To Secure Britain’s Future.
“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,” Badenoch Said. “I Don’t Want Britain To Lose What It Has.”
Sharing Her Personal Experiences, Badenoch Reflected On Her Upbringing In Nigeria And Her Family’s Economic Hardships.
“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,” She Stated.
