CDS Musa’s Visa Rejection: Gambaryan Blasts Ribadu for Criticizing Canada

Nigeria’s National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, has been called a hypocrite by Tigran Gambaryan, Head of Financial Crimes Compliance at Binance.
According to reports, General Christopher Musa, the Chief of Defense Staff, described on Thursday how the Canadian embassy refused to provide him and other senior military officers visas.
General Musa claims that he and other senior military officials were invited to Canada for a Veterans Day ceremony on Wednesday, but their visas were refused by the Canadian embassy.

Musa stated, “Every disappointment is a blessing,” during the National Association of the Institute for Security Studies’ (AANISS) inaugural annual lecture in Abuja. I should have arrived in Canada yesterday, Wednesday. We were supposed to be present at an event honoring our troops and those wounded in combat.

Speaking during the AANIS lecture, Ribadu called the visa denial a betrayal of Nigeria.

“I appreciate your bravery in stating that Canada refused your visas. Hell is an option for them.

“We are peaceful and strong, and I agree with you that it is time to fix our country, even though it is painful and rude. However, this is yet another reason we want to make Nigeria function,” he said.

In response to the report, Gambaryan, who was imprisoned in Nigeria by the NSA’s office, claimed that Ribadu had no right to protest the treatment of those invited to Canada as he treated him and other invited people in Nigeria the same way.

Nuhu Ribadu is whining about how people who were invited to Canada were treated. It’s really wealthy. How did you treat the people you invited to Nigeria? On Friday, he posted on his X handle, “The hypocrisy is real.”
