Adamu Garba, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has suggested that dismantling the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, will bring unprecedented peace and stability to Africa.

 

Garba claimed that such development would make terrorist organizations such as Boko Haram, ISWAP, and other forces conducting unconventional warfare in Africa to run out of arms and ammunition.

 

This development follows tech billionaire Elon Musk’s recent criticism of USAID.

 

Musk, who leads President Donald Trump’s newly created Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, had moved to take control of the agency.

 

In a post on his social media platform X, Musk wrote, “USAID is a criminal organization. Time for it to die.”

 

Reacting to Musk’s statement, Garba urged governors in northern Nigeria to take urgent steps to dismantle all non-governmental organizations, NGOs, operating in their states.

 

He wrote: “Scraping of the operations of USAID will bring unprecedented peace and stability to Africa.

 

“Boko Haram, ISWAP, IGIS, JNIM and all Army Special Operations forces conducting unconventional warfare in African Territory will soon run out of arms and ammunition and reconnaissance support.

 

“The governors of Northern Nigeria must take urgent steps to dismantle all the operations of the NGOs and expel them from their states.”
