Former Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, has refuted a viral publication saying he resigned from office because he “could not stand and watch the US and Tinubu government bombing our brothers in the forest”.
In a statement on Wednesday, Badaru described the allegation as inaccurate, spiteful, and aimed to misrepresent his motives for leaving office.
He said that neither he nor any of his authorized representatives ever made such remarks.
He said that the publishing was intended to damage his reputation, cause tension between him and President Bola Tinubu, and spark needless controversy.
Badaru indicated that the grounds for his resignation were duly communicated to the President and had already been made public through appropriate channels.
In advance of the 2027 general elections, he reiterated his dedication to the peace and stability of Nigeria and stated that he still supports the All Progressives Congress, or APC.
The former minister asked the public to dismiss the release, calling it as the product of mischief makers.
