FCT, Abuja - Adamu Garba, a former presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has asserted that only Vladimir, the president of Russia, is fit to confront the United States (US) President Donald Trump.
Garba, who said this via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, November 5, noted that the Russian leader will never bow to Trump's pressure.

He wrote, with an accompanying picture of Putin:
"Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the best Trump handler in the World. He once said: 'When you are dealing with Trump, never take any decision under his pressure, you'll end up into his trap'."
Legit.ng reports that Garba's comment comes against the backdrop of the threat President Trump issued against Nigeria recently.
Trump, who alleged that there is an ongoing genocide against Christians in Nigeria, had labelled Nigeria a 'Country of Particular Concern'.
He had also accused the federal government of turning a blind eye to the alleged persecution of Christians, a claim that President Bola Tinubu countered, explaining that such has no place in Nigeria.
Subsequently, Trump asked the US Department of War to prepare for action in Nigeria.
The American leader later said options were available, including “boots on the ground”, airstrikes, among others.

Ayodele speaks on US threats
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, advised President Bola Tinubu not to beg Trump over the recent military threats against Nigeria due to alleged targeted killings of Christians.
Primate Ayodele urged Tinubu not to put himself in a position where he will be at Trump's mercy.
The cleric counselled President Tinubu to quickly fix Nigeria's lingering security challenges 'because it will affect his chances in the 2027 elections'.
