The leader of the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch has said that she does not want Britain to lose what it has at the moment.
Making her first speech for the year, Badenoch said she hails from a poor country which was destroyed by actions and decisions taken by its leaders.
The Conservative Party leader said she would not want to watch Britain become like Nigeria, a country which she said terrible leadership has destroyed the lives and opportunities for its citizens.
She said, “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.
Explaining further, Badenoch said she left Nigeria at the age of 16 with parents only £100 in search of a better life in the UK.
“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,” she said.
