Recently, Badenoch stated that she does not want the UK to follow Nigeria’s example, where she thought the government has failed.
However, Bwala, the President’s Special Advisor on Policy Communications, claimed on Monday that the UK Conservative Party leader’s remark was made to win over her party.
In an interview with Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Bwala stated, “I believe the only issue we have with Kemi is the rhetoric because Kemi is part of the right base in the UK, 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.”
In order to gain approval of her party’s rights, she is constructing a discourse that denigrates Nigeria and demarkets the country. And that, in my opinion, is ineffective because Rishi Sunak is also of Indian descent. In India, gang rape has been a problem. She has consistently disparaged Nigeria, but he has never used that as a tool to advance what he saw as a break from what is probably thought to be the Indian people’s history or heritage.
However, the presidential spokesperson downplayed concerns that Badenoch’s comments against Nigeria would harm the nation’s attempts to attract foreign investment.
Since she is not the government in charge, I don’t believe it would make a difference. These international partnerships or alliances are mostly between governments. It won’t make a difference because she isn’t the ruling government,” he stated.
Second, investors will be astute enough to understand what she’s saying since she’s Nigerian, regardless of whether it is rhetorical.
