UK Conservative party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has revealed that when she was in Nigeria, terrible government policies destroyed many homes economically.
Because of that, she migrated to the UK at age 16 with her father’s last £100.
Due to that terrible experience, she would never want the UK to become a country like Nigeria “where terrible governments destroy lives”.
In her first speech of the year on Thursday, Badenoch explained her push for “real conservatism” that guarantees a “better, richer and safer” tomorrow for the younger generation of Britons.
“Why this matters so much to me is because I know what it is like to have something and lose it. I don’t want Britain to lose what it has.
“I grew up in a poor country, and I watched my relatively wealthy family become poorer and poorer and poorer despite working harder as their money disappeared with inflation,” Badenoch said.
The Tory leader narrated how she migrated to the UK at age 16 with her father’s last £100 and would never want the UK to become a country like Nigeria where terrible governments destroy lives.
“I came back to the UK at 16 with my father’s last £100 and a hope of a better life. So, I’ve lived with the consequences of a terrible government that destroys lives, and I never ever want that to happen here”, Badenoch said.
