Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the UK Conservative Party, has been accused by Temitope Ajayi, Bola Tinubu’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, of spreading “outright lies” about Nigeria.
The Troy leader is described as “another tactless UK politician who lacks the temperament and maturity to lead a major political party.”
Ajayi’s charge comes after Badenoch recently spoke about her childhood in Nigeria, describing it as a time of corruption, insecurity, and a lack of ties to the country’s north
Taking to his Twitter handle, Ajayi stated that Nigerians who supported Badenoch’s remarks were renouncing their ancestry and likened his denigration of Nigeria to dishonoring one’s parents.
He tweeted, “What I get from some of our people parroting and supporting Kemi Badenoch’s badmouth and irrational diatribes against Nigeria is that their parents do not have a right to personal honour and dignity insofar as their parents could not provide all they desire and fancy.

“That Nigeria has her challenges, like any other country on earth, means we must accept every kitchen sink thrown at us even when they are outright lies like all of Kemi’s fairy tales. Saying incorrigible Kemi is correct and has a right to her opinion is like saying because my parents are poor and couldn’t give me everything I wanted as a child, I should not protect them when an outsider or a neighbour disrespects them.”
Ajayi added, “If Kemi’s party made the UK paradise in their 14 years in power, they wouldn’t have lost the election woefully. This goes to show that the UK has many problems and challenges yet to be resolved. Kemi is not an example of someone Nigeria needs lectures from. She is just another tactless UK politician who lacks the temperament and maturity to lead a major political party and as a future Prime Minister.”
