Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy, has requested the United Kingdom (UK) to send Kemi Badenoch, Leader of the Conservative Party, Nigeria’s “lost daughter” back home for “proper re-education”.
This is coming after the UK opposition Leader “lied” about her Nigerian citizenship.
Onanuga’s statement is coming as a response to a tweet (with a video) by an X user (@SholaMos1) which says: “Kemi Badenoch owes Nigeria an apology for this brazen lie! What an embarrassment of a political prostitute she is. A parent who shamelessly weaponises her kids for political gain is a disgrace. Keep Nigeria out of your godforsaken mouth @KemiBadenoch!”
Bayo Onanuga quoted @SholaMos1 tweet and commented: “Britain should send our lost daughter Kemi Badenoch home for a proper re-education. Thanks to Shola Shogbamimu for enlightening the Tory politician. Section 25 of our constitution defines who has the right to Nigerian citizenship.
“25. (1) The following persons are citizens of Nigeria by birth, namely-
(a) every person born in Nigeria before the date of independence, either of whose parents orany of whose grandparents belongs or belonged to a community indigenous to Nigeria; Provided that a person shall not become a citizen of Nigeria by virtue of this section if neitherof his parents nor any of his grandparents was born in Nigeria.
(b) every person born in Nigeria after the date of independence either of whose parents or anyof whose grandparents is a citizen of Nigeria; and
(c) every person born outside Nigeria either of whose parents is a citizen of Nigeria.
“(2) In this section, “the date of independence” means the 1st day of October 1960.
“Kemi Badenoch lied. She owes her fatherland some apology.”
Watch – Kemi Badenoch talking about her Nigerian citizenship…
