President Bola Tinubu has frowned at the Ill treatment meted to Nigerian officials by Canada. Speaking through the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, President Tinubu revealed that Nigeria will respond strongly, if Canada fails to resolve the issue surrounding its refusal to grant visas to the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Christopher Musa.
The minister’s statement was made in an official release signed by Iyogun Sunday, the Director of Information and Public Relations at the Ministry of Defence.
Matawalle stressed that Nigeria must assert itself on the global stage, following the recent diplomatic incident where visas were denied to the Chief of Defence Staff, General Musa, and other members of the Nigerian delegation.
The delegation was en route to Canada for a significant event honouring Nigerian war veterans when the visas were refused.
