Not direct attack on Muslims – Adamu Garba reveals implications of Trump designating Nigeria CPC

Former All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has disclosed the implications of the United States, US, President Donald Trump designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, CPC.

Garba said the Muslims in Nigeria should not see this as a direct attack on them but on terrorists.

He explained that with the designation of Nigeria as CPC, the US government will start official procedural proceedings against Nigeria, across all its international instruments.

In a video on X, he wrote: “The United States designated Nigeria as a country of particular concern for the purpose of genocide against the Christian population.

“This means that the US will now start official procedural proceedings against Nigeria in some strategic interest where Nigeria is a concern, especially in the area of weapon deployment.

“They believe that some of the weapons been supplied to Nigeria finds it’s way into the hands of these terrorists that are committing these genocide.

“The Muslims should not see this as a direct attack against them, rather it’s a direct attack against the militant terrorist organization.

“There should be no issue of anger pointed towards some Christian population simply cause of this is happening, rather there should be a general consensus and understanding between the citizens of Nigeria so that we can understand that there is a failure of leadership in the country, especially the political and security leadership to provide the necessary protection and that is what led us to this problem.”
