The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication recently addressed remarks made by Kemi Badenoch, a member of the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party, regarding Nigeria. He pointed out that Badenoch’s comments seemed to be geared towards gaining favor within her party rather than accurately representing the situation in Nigeria. The adviser highlighted the importance of distinguishing between individual opinions and official government stances in international relations, emphasizing that Badenoch’s statements are unlikely to impact Nigeria’s relationships with other countries. Additionally, he drew a comparison between Badenoch’s remarks and the conduct of another politician of Indian descent, Rishi Sunak, stressing the need for responsible and constructive dialogue in international discourse.
