Presidential Aide Dada Olusegun slams UK’s Kemi Badenoch over “false” Nigerian citizenship claims
Presidential aide Dada Olusegun has sharply criticised UK Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch for her remarks on Nigerian citizenship, accusing her of misrepresenting the country’s laws. Badenoch, in a CNN interview, claimed she could not pass Nigerian citizenship to her children due to her gender. In a swift rebuttal on X, Olusegun cited Section 25 of the 1999 Constitution, asserting that children of Nigerian women are automatically citizens by descent. “Why do you continue to lie against your motherland?” Olusegun wrote, calling her statements a “dangerous and desperate attempt to malign Nigeria.”
