Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has said she no longer feels Nigerian and has given up her passport for the country.

Although she was born in Wimbledon, Mrs Badenoch spent most of her childhood in Nigeria before returning to south London at the age of 16, after the country’s economy collapsed in the 1990s, to continue her education.

She explained that she didn’t ‘identify’ with the country, as she spent most of her life in the UK.

And when it came to her passport, she no longer had it up to date.

'I have not renewed my Nigerian passport, I think, not since the early 2000s,' she told the Rosebud podcast.
