I no longer identify as Nigerian, Badenoch says
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch revealed in a podcast that she no longer identifies as Nigerian and hasn't renewed her passport since the early 2000s. Badenoch, who was born in the UK but spent her childhood in Nigeria and the US, emphasized that although she has deep Nigerian roots, she feels more connected to the UK. Speaking about her upbringing in Nigeria, Badenoch explained how those experiences influenced her political views, including her aversion to socialism.
