The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has tackled United Kingdom Conservative leader of Nigerian descent, Kemi Badenoch, over alleged false claims about Nigerian women and their citizenship status.
Badenoch, in an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria had said she is unable to transfer her Nigerian citizenship to her children because of her gender.
Badenoch discussed immigration policies and the differences between Britain and countries like Nigeria.
“It’s virtually impossible, for example, to get Nigerian citizenship. I have that citizenship by virtue of my parents, I can’t give it to my children because I’m a woman.”
