Dabiri-Erewa claimed that her gesture towards Badenoch was met with rejection. Rather than keep quiet as a diplomat/consular official would have done, Dabiri-Erewa thought it was newsworthy to take to Channels TV to question the “Nigerianess” of Kemi. However, I have read many friends refute this, arguing that Kemi attended the same school as their children and most of my children and did not endure the hardships she described. Some have even overly romanticised the lives of Nigerian academics in the 1990s.
If, against all odds, Mrs Badenoch’s critical stance resonates with those in political power and leads to a meaningful reduction in the grand theft of our national resources, it would be cause for celebration. Such a shift would represent a significant victory for the vast majority of Nigerians. I agree with Dr Sola Oni, the leader of the Yoruba Party in the UK, who differed with Mrs Badenoch on reparations for slavery, colonialism and today’s neo-colonialism. As a British leader of opposition, it is understandable that we would differ from her views. It is for us to carry out a principled campaign to change the views of Mrs Badenoch’s voters.
