Former Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar's Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, on Saturday tackled Vice President Kashim Shettima over his comment regarding the newly elected United Kingdom's Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch . Shettima had accused Badenoch of disparaging her country of origin, Nigeria, after she emerged as the UK's Conservative Party leader.
recalls that in 2022, Badenoch, then a United Kingdom Prime Minister hopeful, accused Nigerian politicians of using public funds for their private matters. She claimed that her upbringing in Nigeria was overshadowed by fear and insecurity in a country plagued by corruption. After she was elected as UK Conservative Party leader in November 2024, the Nigerian government, through the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission , was said to have tried to reach out to Badenoch, but she declined.
