British Conservative Party politician Kemi Badenoch has said that she doesn’t identify as a Nigerian.
The politician, while speaking on the Rosebud podcast with Gyles Brandreth added that she no longer holds a Nigerian passport because she had not renewed her Nigerian passport in over 20 years.
“I’m Nigerian through ancestry, by birth, despite not being born there because of my parents, but by identity I’m not really.
“I know the country very well, I have a lot of family there, and I’m very interested in what happens there,” Badenoch said.
Badenoch added that she never felt she belonged in Nigeria when she went to the West African country before returning to the UK at age 16.
She added, ”But home is where my now family is, and my now family is my children, it’s my husband and my brother and his children, in-laws.
“The Conservative party is very much part of my family, my extended family, I call it.”
