Fani-Kayode Blasts Ghamari After Heated Exchange With Tuggar On Piers Morgan Show

Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has launched a blistering attack on former Canadian legislator, Goldie Ghamari, following her heated confrontation with Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, during Tuesday’s edition of the Piers Morgan show.

Ghamari had accused the Nigerian government of enabling the persecution of Christians, triggering a fierce exchange that has since gone viral.

Reacting in a detailed statement on X, Fani-Kayode described Ghamari as “emotionally unbalanced,” “hate-filled,” and unfit to comment on global political issues.

The former minister said Ghamari lacked credibility, citing her removal from Doug Ford’s Conservative caucus in Canada over Islamophobic comments and the subsequent revocation of her law licence for alleged professional misconduct.

Fani-Kayode questioned why an individual “kicked out of Canadian politics” was allowed to take the global stage to “spew falsehoods about Nigeria.”

He said her remarks on Palestine, Iran, Israel and now Nigeria exposed her as an ignorant and hate-filled Zionist and a genocide-enabler who thrives on mass murder.

“Her misplaced and insane views on her native Iran and now Nigeria are fuelled by hate, ignorance and a level of malevolence rarely seen,” he wrote.

Fani-Kayode praised Foreign Affairs Minister Yusuf Tuggar for what he described as a firm and factual response to Ghamari’s allegations.

He said Tuggar debunked her claims with clarity and emotion drawn from his own personal loss to terrorism.

“He exposed her lies, perfidy and ignorance, skinned her alive, chewed her up and spat her out, and I enjoyed every moment of it,” Fani-Kayode stated.

He added that Ghamari’s attempt to paint Nigeria as an Islamist government simply because President Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima share the same faith was “a nonsensical notion no serious person should entertain.”

“An emotionally unstable and vulgar creature from hell deserves no less,” he added sharply.

The fiery segment on Piers Morgan’s programme centred on allegations of large-scale persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

Ghamari accused the Nigerian government of tacitly supporting Islamist actors and cited the religious identities of the president and vice-president as part of her argument. She further suggested an influence link between Nigeria and Iran.

Tuggar, however, countered her claims, insisting that the statistics she cited were misleading and “politically weaponised.” He stressed that all victims — Muslim or Christian — are treated as Nigerians.

He narrated the killing of his father-in-law by Boko Haram to emphasise that terrorism in Nigeria does not follow a simple religious binary.

“You trivialise a real national tragedy with armchair commentary,” Tuggar told her.

The exchange grew more heated as both sides accused each other of oversimplifying Nigeria’s security complexities.

Fani-Kayode thanked commentators who, after the broadcast, publicised Ghamari’s political history and ethics controversies.

He said many Nigerians “would never have known who she truly is” without their efforts.

The former minister insisted that the debate should focus on factual realities, not what he called the “bigoted and inflammatory rhetoric” pushed by Ghamari.
