Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK), a prominent Nigerian politician, has responded to recent criticisms of Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the British Conservative Party.
The controversy stems from a video by the “Downtown Den Politics Podcast,” where a British woman labeled Badenoch a “snitch” and “deranged” after Badenoch revealed she no longer believes in God, citing the Josef Fritzl case as a turning point. This statement has sparked significant debate, particularly given Badenoch’s Nigerian heritage and her role in British politics.
FFK’s reaction highlights the broader implications of Badenoch’s comments, especially in Nigeria, where they were initially met with mixed responses.

He notes that he and the Vice President were among the first to publicly challenge Badenoch’s stance last year, a move that gained traction as more Nigerians expressed concern over her perceived denigration of her roots.
FFK predicts Badenoch’s political downfall, suggesting her actions have alienated both her party and the public.
The internal dissent within the Conservative Party, hinted at by potential defections to Reform UK, further complicates her position. This situation underscores the delicate balance between personal beliefs and political identity in the public eye.
