The influential UK politician, became a trending topic on social media shortly after her visit to the country and it’s all thanks to her suit which its material was made from local Nigerian fabric.

Nigerians from the South Eastern part of the country have taken to their respective social media pages to laud the British PM who ignored Eurpoean designers, including Gucci and Prada, to support the locally made product from the country.
