Former Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, has rejected a viral claim stating that he resigned from his position because he “could not bear to witness the US and Tinubu government bombing our brothers in the forest.”

In a statement released on Wednesday, Badaru labeled the report as false, malicious, and aimed at misrepresenting his reasons for leaving office.

He emphasized that he never made such statements, nor did any authorized representative on his behalf.

According to him, the publication was designed to damage his reputation, create discord between him and President Bola Tinubu, and stir unnecessary controversy.

Badaru clarified that the reasons for his resignation were formally communicated to the President and had previously been disclosed through official channels.

He reiterated his dedication to Nigeria’s peace and stability and expressed his continued support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in anticipation of the 2027 general elections.

The former minister urged the public to disregard the publication, calling it the product of mischief-makers.
