Former presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Garba, has revealed the implications of the United States President Donald Trump designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC).
Garba emphasized that Muslims in Nigeria should not interpret this as a direct assault on them, but rather as an action against terrorists.
He clarified that with Nigeria's designation as a CPC, the US government will initiate formal procedural actions against Nigeria across all its international frameworks.
In a video shared on X, he stated: “The United States has designated Nigeria as a country of particular concern due to the genocide against the Christian population."
“This indicates that the US will commence formal procedural actions against Nigeria concerning strategic interests, particularly in the realm of arms deployment.”
“They are concerned that some of the weapons supplied to Nigeria are being diverted to the terrorists perpetrating this genocide.”
“Muslims should not view this as a direct attack against them; instead, it is an attack on the militant terrorist organizations.”
“There should be no resentment directed at any Christian population simply because of this situation; rather, there should be a collective understanding among Nigerian citizens that we are facing a leadership crisis in the country, particularly in political and security leadership, which has failed to provide the necessary protection and led us to this predicament.”
