Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Friday told the Canadian embassy in Nigeria to “go to hell” in response to its refusal to grant visas to Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, and other military officials.

Fani-Kayode made the remark while praising National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu for criticizing the embassy after the denial of entry visas. Musa and other military leaders had been scheduled to attend a veterans’ event in Canada.

In his response, Ribadu expressed frustration, saying, “They can go to hell.”

Fani-Kayode commended Ribadu, calling him an NSA with “some balls” who can stand up to foreign powers that disrespect Nigerians.

Posting on X, Fani-Kayode wrote: “At last, we now have an NSA that has some balls and that is prepared to stand up to foreigners that treat our people with contempt.

“@NuhuRibadu was right when he said that the Canadian Embassy was being ‘disrespectful’ by not granting visas to some of our military top brass, including the CDS, who were scheduled to attend a formal event in their country. He also told them to ‘go to hell!’

“Proud of you, Nuhu. The days of foreign governments kicking us in the teeth and getting away with it are long over.

“What makes this case worse is that Canada may not even be a sovereign, independent country for much longer if @realDonaldTrump has his way and may end up being the 51st state of America!

“Imagine a conflicted entity like that, which is not sure of its own future, treating our senior military officers with contempt.

“They should not only ‘go to hell’ but they should also go and jump in the lagoon.

“Nigeria has paid her dues and MUST be treated with respect.”
