Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has hailed the Bola Tinubu administration for successes recorded domestically and internationally on Sunday.

The ambassadorial-nominee spoke in an X post on Monday.

Fani-Kayode said Nigeria’s military intervention that helped thwart a coup in Benin Republic and rescue of over 100 students abducted in a school in Papiri, Niger State on the same day were moments of pride for Nigeria.

According to him, the feats indicated Nigeria is on the rise.

Fani-Kayode said, “100 children that were abducted from their school in Papiri, Niger state by terrorists a couple of weeks ago were rescued by our security forces yesterday whilst our Armed Forces saved democracy in Benin Republic by sending fighter jets to bomb the hell out of a group of mutinous soldiers who had staged a coup.

“It was a good day for Nigeria yesterday. Our nation is on the rise again.”
