A claim by a US-based nonprofit that the Nigerian government is a terrorist sponsor has been described by the federal government as a disgusting distraction orchestrated by those seeking to weaken the ongoing massive attack on the terrorism and banditry.

Information and Culture Minister Alhaji Lai Mohammed said in a statement on Sunday that the so-called Global Advocates for Terrorism Eradication (GATE) is a stubborn irritant that should be ignored, especially because it is as confused as he was irresponsible. .

“This organization called GATE is not even worth the ink its name is written with. How can a serious organization accuse a government that tackles the double evil of terrorism and banditry with an unusual determination to sponsor terrorism?

“Isn’t it curious that this organization chose this particular moment, when the terrorists either surrender in droves or go wild, following a new offensive against them by the army, to orchestrate a distraction?” What could be the motivation of GATE if not to weaken the fight against terrorism and banditry?

“GATE and its sponsors should be ashamed of themselves and should stop trying to distract our valiant troops who are doing everything possible, including the ultimate sacrifice, to keep our country safe,” the minister said.

According to Alhaji Mohammed, the fact that GATE relied on the words of a completely discredited former Nigerian naval intelligence officer and false information peddler to make his absurd claim, demonstrates the emptiness of his claim.

“In the fight against terrorism, Nigeria has served honorably by attacking local terrorists with links to global terrorist organizations. We dare say that no administration in Nigeria has risen to the challenge of terrorism like the Buhari administration has.

“The acquisition of a myriad of platforms, the uplifting of the morale of our fighting forces and the leadership provided by President Muhammadu Buhari have combined to put our valiant troops in a good position to face head-on and put terrorists to flight. . Well Named,

Nigeria’s efforts to fight terrorism have been praised around the world.

“What our brave men and women need right now is support, encouragement and prayers from all, not the distracting antics of an inept interest-seeking organization masquerading as an advocate. eradication of terrorism, “he said.
