Nigeria's VP Criticizes UK Tory Leader

News summary

Nigerian Vice President Kashim Shettima has criticized newly elected UK Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch for her disparaging remarks about Nigeria, made during her political career. Speaking at the 10th Annual Migration Dialogue in Abuja, Shettima expressed pride in Badenoch despite her attempts to discredit Nigeria, stating, 'She is entitled to her opinions; however, this does not change the fact that Nigeria is the greatest black nation on earth.' He further emphasized the significant contributions of migrants to society and the economy, reaffirming the Nigerian government's commitment to protecting their rights. Badenoch, of Nigerian descent, previously accused Nigerian politicians of misusing public funds, and after her election in November 2024, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission reported unsuccessful outreach attempts to her. Shettima noted that by 2050, Nigeria is projected to become the third most populous nation, highlighting its global significance.
