A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Garba says the closure of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will bring peace and stability to Africa.

Garba was reacting to a post on X by Elon Musk who described the agency as a criminal organisation.

According to him, the move will ensure terrorist organizations such as Boko Haram, ISWAP, and other forces conducting unconventional warfare in Africa to run out of arms and ammunition.

Musk in his blistering criticism of USAID said it was "time for the organization to die". Recall Musk who became one of the closest allies of President Donald Trump is penned to manage the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

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.”
