‘Little girl’, Fani-Kayode hits UK Politician Badenoch over attack on Nigerians
A Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has tackled Kemi Badenoch over repeated bashing of Nigerians in her bid to replace ousted former UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, as leader of the Tory party.
In an interview with Mail Online, the 44-year-old British Nigerian, criticized Nigeria, saying she doesn’t want Britain to become like the place she ran away from.
Badenoch was born in Wimbledon, but spent her childhood in Nigeria before returning to the UK as a teenager.
“I will always be grateful for being lucky enough to be born here.
“It was very much fate, and I would do anything for this country – I would go to war for this country, I would fight for this country. I would die for this country.
“This is my country. I love it the way it is. I don’t want it to become like the place I ran away from. I want it to get better and better, not just for me, but for the next generation,” the UK Conservative Party leadership hopeful said.
Earlier, she had also claimed that her childhood in Nigeria was filled with tales of horror, with screams of neighbors every night being attacked, leading to fears whether their apartment could be the next.
Reacting, Fani-Kayode, in a post via X on Saturday, Literally descended heavily on Badenoch.
“A very s****d little girl and notoriously self-righteous b***h barks. Ever considered staying in the place you “ran away from” and trying to fix it? You are worse than Aunty Jemima, the female version of Uncle Tom.
“By all means try your luck at being elected leader of the British Conservative party but leave my country out of your pretty yet stinking mouth,” the former minister wrote.
