Former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has issued a forceful statement in response to recent comments attributed to U.S. President Donald Trump, saying Nigeria will resist any external attempt to undermine its sovereignty. Fani-Kayode’s message, released to the public in Abuja, stressed that Nigeria’s independence is not negotiable and that the nation will act to protect its territorial integrity and national dignity.

He said that while Nigeria faces internal challenges, those issues do not give outside actors the right to interfere or to threaten the country. Fani-Kayode urged Nigerians to remain calm but vigilant, asking political leaders and citizens alike to present a united front and to support institutions responsible for national security and stability.
The former minister also called for clear diplomatic channels to resolve disagreements and warned against inflammatory rhetoric that could escalate tensions. He said that careful diplomacy and mutual respect between nations are the proper ways to handle disputes, but that Nigeria will not tolerate actions perceived as hostile or coercive.
Commentators and citizens on social platforms have responded with a mix of support and caution. Some back Fani-Kayode’s stance as a necessary assertion of national pride, while others urge restraint to avoid diplomatic fallout. Observers note the need for measured government responses and for official spokespeople to clarify Nigeria’s position through formal diplomatic avenues.
Fani-Kayode closed his statement by urging dialogue and peaceful relations between countries, while insisting that Nigeria will defend its people and territory if faced with external aggression. He asked that all stakeholders focus on peaceful resolution, national unity, and the protection of Nigerian interests.
