Former Minister of Defence Mohammed Badaru Abubakar has denied claims circulating online that 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 called the report false and malicious, saying it misrepresents the reasons for his resignation. He stressed that neither he nor any authorised representative made such comments.
“The publication is intended to tarnish my reputation, create discord between me and President Bola Tinubu, and stir unnecessary controversy,” he said.
Badaru explained that the reasons for his resignation were formally communicated to the President and had already been shared publicly through official channels.
He reiterated his commitment to Nigeria’s peace and stability and reaffirmed his support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The former minister urged the public to disregard the viral report, describing it as the work of mischief makers.
