Prominent APC Member, Adamu Garba, Called on Nigerians to Back U.S Position on Genocide, Gives Reason
By: Israel Adeleke
OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports that a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Garba, has called on Nigerians to support the United States in its position regarding the alleged genocide in the country, arguing that Washington’s actions are directed at both armed and economic terrorists operating within Nigeria.
OTN News further reports that Garba, who disclosed this in a statement he posted on his X.com (formerly Twitter) handle, on Sunday, explained that the U.S. government is focusing on two distinct sets of offenders.
He explained that the two offenders are those who actively engage in violence and destruction, and those who misuse public funds allocated for national security and development initiatives.
He stressed that the U.S appears to be more concerned with the second category, which are those that misuse public funds allocated for national security and other security related development initiatives.
OTN News observes that Garba, who also stressed that the second category of Nigeria's security calamity has serious negative effect on the country progress, warned that their corrupt practices have deep implications for the global financial system and could contribute to the expansion of terrorism beyond Nigeria’s borders.
He wrote: “People don’t understand that the U.S. is approaching the genocide issue against two profiled and equal culprits:
“The terrorist who carries out the killings and destruction all over the country.
“The politico-economic terrorist who steals money meant for the fight against the terrorist and other preventive social programs for their personal gain.
“In fact, they’re more interested in the latter, than the former, because the later has more damaging consequences to the global economic arrangement and is capable of exporting terror to other places on earth.
“They know everything that is happening in Nigeria, all the monies that are being moved to other places in the Caribbean and those monies washed into crypto wallets are being trailed and tracked.
“Their interest, as some of you wrongly assume is not to negotiate with any government officials, but to see genuine action against the two terrorists mentioned above.
“Failure to do so could result in rapid action against these two terrorists.
“If you are not part of the two terrorist groups of legitimate targets, then you should have nothing to worry about.
“In fact, you should actively encourage any action that should accelerate the cleansing of both the guns and the economic terrorists that have dominated our country for the past 16 years.” he concluded.
