APC’s Adamu Garba Backs Trump’s ‘Genocide in Nigeria’ Claim, Gives More Exposition (VIDEO)

• All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Adamu Garba, has supported U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent remarks alleging an ongoing genocide in Nigeria.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Adamu Garba, has backed U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that there is an ongoing genocide in Nigeria.

Garba, in a video interview with Trust TV shared on Facebook on Wednesday, reacted to the United States’ recent designation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over religious freedom and human rights issues. He argued that, judging by the number of lives lost in violent attacks across the country, the situation indeed fits the description of genocide.

He recalled that in 2014, when the APC was still in opposition, some of its members visited the White House to seek international assistance over what they then described as the mass killing of Christians in Nigeria.

“In fact, in 2014, Nigerian opposition party, then the APC, were in the White House seeking for the same help on the same Christian genocide as a fallout of the Chibok girls. This is established,” Garba said.

He continued, “More recently, we acquired $346 million worth of weaponry from the U.S., and we are trying to send our military personnel for training as part of the diplomatic relationship between both nations. The U.S., along with other partners, has consistently supported our counterterrorism efforts.”

Garba explained that under the United Nations Convention on Counterterrorism, the U.S. has the “Responsibility to Protect (R2P)” — a global framework that empowers it to intervene against terrorism anywhere in the world.

“Wherever terrorism is defined, the U.S. has the right to invoke that R2P to enter that country and destroy terrorism,” he noted.

He urged the Nigerian government to demonstrate willingness to cooperate with the U.S. in combating terrorism rather than dismissing its offer of assistance.

“What we should show in Nigeria is commitment and willingness to partner to eliminate the threat of terrorism — not condemn a hand that is coming to help. We can negotiate with them,” he added.

Garba further advised that the government should engage diplomatically, negotiate responsibly, and acknowledge the extent of the killings across the country.

“We can tell them, give us the weapons responsibly. We can discuss with them and acknowledge that this genocide is taking place. Yes, they say Christian genocide — but Muslims are also affected,” he explained.

He lamented that innocent citizens continue to be killed in their homes and communities without adequate protection, stressing that both Christians and Muslims have suffered equally.

“When you look at the total number of people killed over time in Nigeria — defenceless villagers attacked while sleeping in their homes — what can you call that for God’s sake? It’s pure genocide,” he said.

Garba cited several communities in Katsina, Sokoto, and Zamfara that have been repeatedly destroyed in violent attacks, describing the killings as ongoing and unchecked.

“Several villages in Katsina destroyed. Several in Sokoto gone. Several in Zamfara — every day,” he lamented.
