 New UK Prime Minister not the leader Britain needs — Kemi Badenoch UK Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has congratulated Andy Burnham on becoming Britain’s new prime minister but said while he is “a nice man,” the country needs a leader capable of making difficult decisions rather than “a people pleaser.” In a statement released on Monday on X following Burnham’s assumption of office, Badenoch wished the new prime minister success but vowed to hold his government accountable as Leader of the Opposition. “Today, Britain has a new Prime Minister. I wish Andy Burnham every success. Because we need a Prime Minister and a Government focused on fixing the public’s priorities,” she said. Badenoch said her role was “to hold the Prime Minister to account, not to be his cheer leader.” “My job as Leader of the Opposition, is to hold the Prime Minister to account, not to be his cheer leader.

 EFCC to OPAY :  Make Compliance with Regulations Your Watchword


The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ola Olukoyede  has charged the management and staff of Opay   to make compliance with  existing regulations  a watchword to ensure business integrity and block avenues for money laundering and fraudulent practices.


 Olukoyede gave the charge in Abuja on Thursday,  December 11, 2025 when the Chief Executive Officer,  CEO,   Opay, Mr. Steven Wen  led other top managers of the financial institution on a courtesy visit to the EFCC headquarters.


The EFCC boss, who spoke through the Chief of Staff, CoS, to the Chairman, Commander of the EFCC, CE Michael Nzekwe stated that one of the mantras of Olukoyede was  using  the instrumentality of anti-corruption to stimulate growth in the economy.   He, therefore, charged the managers to keep faith with extant laws in running their business.


“ Work on  Know Your Customers,  KYC,  don’t give room for fraud,  don’t allow your company to be used for money laundering  and comply with every law of the land”, he said.   While further emphasizing the need for compliance, he  commended Opay for considering local content in its employment policy.


“Your ninety-nine percent local employees are very good, we must commend you for that,  but then again it is also important to reiterate the need for compliance with  local laws. It is very important because you have to ensure that it is not just by word  of mouth but more by action that you comply with the local laws.


Also speaking on the need for compliance, Director, Investigation, Commander of the EFCC,   CE Abdulkarim Chukkol reiterated the need for systems integrity adding that Opay must ensure it safeguards itself against  insider abuse in the company.


“Systems integrity is also very important to look at, secondly the KYC, it is not enough for us to say let us just follow  only what the CBN has given us,   but again,  you have to go the extra mile.  I also want to give advice on the people that you employ, sometimes insider abuse is very rampant, no matter how tight your system is,  when you bring in somebody that can do and undo,  then definitely everybody is at risk”, he said.


Earlier in his presentation,  Wen disclosed that compliance with regulations,  customer satisfaction and revenue generation are priorities his company considered very important.  


“The most important thing in our company is compliance with local laws, compliance with local regulations, second is customer certification, how we use innovative solutions to solve our customer problems to provide them value. Then,  number three is how to grow our revenue.  We believe that compliance with the law is a red line we cannot cross”, he said.
