Daniel Bwala, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, has weighed in on the recent criticism from Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the UK’s Conservative Party, about Nigeria.

According to Bwala, Badenoch’s remarks were motivated by a desire to secure favor within her party rather than any genuine concern for Nigeria.

Last week, Badenoch made headlines when she expressed her concerns about Nigeria’s governance, warning that Britain could face similar challenges if it failed to reform its system.

She emphasized the importance of trust and touted the Conservative Party as the right choice to prevent the UK from suffering the consequences seen in countries like Nigeria.

In response to these remarks, Bwala appeared on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Monday, dismissing the idea that Badenoch’s comments would harm Nigeria’s international standing or efforts to attract foreign investment.

“She’s not the government in power, so her comments won’t affect international relations or collaborations,” Bwala explained.

“International dealings usually happen between governments, and since she’s not in power, it won’t have any effect. Also, investors will be wise enough to recognize whether her statements are just political rhetoric.”

“The problem we have with Kemi is her rhetoric,” he continued. “She belongs to the right-wing base in the UK, where populism feeds off anger and discontent.

By denigrating Nigeria, she’s trying to gain support and approval from the right wing of her party.”

Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.

He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.

According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.

The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
