Obi Urges Reforms Following Badenoch’s Critique of Nigeria
A former governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has advised that Kemi Badenoch’s remarks about Nigeria should spur the country into improving living conditions for its citizens. Obi explained that despite being a Nigerian, blind patriotism was not enough. In a post on X, reacting to Badenoch, Nigerian-born leader of the UK’s Conservative Party, who recently said she would not like to see Britain become poor like Nigeria where failed governments and selfish politicians destroy lives, Obi asked: “What should we make of all the negative remarks about Nigeria? “Recently, Nigerian-born Kemi Badenoch, a leader in the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party, took a serious swipe at our dear country. She stated that she would not want Britain to become like poor Nigeria, where a failed government destroys lives. “Nigerians have had mixed reactions to her comments—some have criticized her, while others feel she simply stated the obvious and should not be vilified.
