For one statement wey Moghalu post for X on Sunday, e yarn say di whole talk no get meaning. E talk say, βEven if she become UK Prime Minister tomorrow morning, e no go change anything or help Nigeria and Nigerians at all.β
Badenoch, wey be Member of Parliament for UK and big person for Conservative Party, don chop plenty backlash for her talk wey people see say e dey make am distance herself from Nigeria, even though na there dem born her. Some Nigerians dey hail her political success, but others dey ask wetin e mean for di wahala wey dey Nigeria side.
Moghalu talk say make Nigerians face dia own problems instead of dey worry about Badenoch talk or her heritage. E yarn say, βWhy all di wahala? Nigerian leaders and Nigerians suppose fix Nigeria problems. To dey claim Kemi or to say she dey deny Nigeria no go solve anything.β
