Atiku, Boris and Olukemi. |
Former Vice President,
Atiku Abubakar has congratulated Ms Olukemi Bodenoch, who has been appointed
Minister for Children and Family by the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.
Atiku Abubakar said: “Your
cabinet has a lot to teach the world. With an average age of 47, it is the UK's
youngest ever cabinet, and with over 25% minority representation, it is one of
the world's most diverse governments. It is also a gender balanced
administration, with 24% female representation. Putting together such a well
represented government is a testament to your ability to connect, include and
unite”.
Like I said in both my
private and public messages to you, I am confident that under your leadership,
Anglo-Nigerian relationships will be greatly strengthened.
He continued: “Let me
also congratulate Mrs. Olukemi Olufunto Badenoch on her appointment as
Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Children and Families. I have
repeatedly said that Nigerians, especially her youth, are natural leaders, with
advanced intellect and abilities. I said this when I congratulated Kelechi
(Kaycee) Madu on being made a minister in Canada and Ms. Badenoch only
corroborates my assertions.
I urge Nigerians all
over the world to note that global leaders acknowledge that we are hardworking
people, with a community spirit that we take wherever we go. Nigerian youths
are not lazy as is shown from these appointments, and I look forward to the day
that we can show by our youth representation in Nigeria's government, that they
are as appreciated at home as they are abroad.
